Based on the sheer number of outstanding demos/outtakes the RAL sessions produced, I would take; "Running Through The Garden, Battle Of The Dragon, She Loves Him Still, Reconsider Me, Something Exquisite, etc., on that record over OMBTR&RS any day, but that's another thread entirely. I think it was a good decision to use the latter as a B-side. Conversely, TOSOTM demos/outtakes were dire. Dial The Number, Tragedy Of Ones Soul, Lily Girl, Don't Treat Me Like A Stranger, to name a few, it boggles the mind that TOSOTM turned out as well as it did.
