    Notes:
    I received this one about a months ago once again from Joe A. who did
    the transfer from his friend's vinyl bootleg. Unfortunately the LP
    wasn't in a very good condition anymore. But I was able to remove or
    at least subdue most of the unwanted noises. The result is quite
    enjoyable, I think. No noise reduction or equalizing has been
    performed.
    Here is some information I found about the studio tracks:
    Oenone
    'Oenone', from Greek mythology, is the name of a nymph deserted by her
    husband, Paris, for Helen of troy. Some prefer to spell this outtake
    'Oneone', because it would be pronounced 'oh-nee-oh-nee', the same way
    as the end of Zabriskie Point's director name, Michelangelo AntONIONI.
    This title was probably given by the 'Omay Yad' bootleg LP manufacturers,
    where this outtake first surfaced.
    Fingal's Cave
    'Fingal's Cave' is the name of a large cavern on Staffa islet in the
    Hebrides, West Scotland. This title was probably given by the 'Omay
    Yad' bootleg LP manufacturers, where this outtake first surfaced.
    Crumbling Land - extended
    This version is basically the same as the regular version from the
    soundtrack album, but the ending with cars and street noises is uncut.
    Rain In The Country
    Alternate take from 'Unknown Song' (same basic track, but different
    lead and overdubs, different edits). The title 'Rain In The Country'
    was probably given by the 'Omay Yad' bootleg LP manufacturers, where
    this outtake first surfaced.

    Many thanks to Joe A. and Marc E. from Philadelphia for their
    contribution to this project.
