Miscellanea

The initial U.S. release of On the Road was as a single LP consisting of: "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" (edited to 15:10), "Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory," "(Sometimes I Feel So) Uninspired" & "Light Up Or Leave Me Alone." The audience voices after "Tragic Magic" that (on first listen) may appear to be saying "Swans, swans" are in fact saying "Sparks, sparks, low sparks".
