[Mr Scarrott]

I'm listening to the "alternate" Tusk on Spotify and it's certainly my highlight! I only wish the lyrics that found their way onto the album proper could have been mixed with Peter's spine-tingling guitar. It's odd that that the only bit of Peter that we've assumed made it to the original album (the last few notes in the fade-out) has been omitted here, although something like them does appear earlier in the track.

The effect of the "alternate" version of the album is pretty disconcerting, it has to be said. After years of listening to a very disparate album and mentally trying to accept it as something approaching a cohesive whole, along comes this collection of demos, works in progress and remixes and it blows the whole thing apart again...
