thanks john, that is the way i remember it too...that end of the game and the singles were on all on reprise as just as then play on had been. its interesting, remembering that pete was under contract to clifford davies during this period, somehow much later, his ex wife mich ended up with the trove of studio then play on era outtakes that make up much of the 'vaudeville years'. i wonder if mich reynolds has any of the end of the games sessions?
i'm sure that em and john are correct that the singles were separate later recordings with mostly different personnel. despite that and ignoring the contractual issues they are more similar to end of the game than to fleetwood mac or the eventual follow up in the skies. but definitely not very similar to anything, i will give you that!
i do understand em's desire to have a pure end of the game reissue. that would be cool. i was thinking selfishly, actually. i don't have good copies of the singles as i do have for end of the game. eotg it is relatively easy to find. does anyone know if the singes are available anywhere outside of bootlegs or vintage 45's?
