"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" -- Harry

I hope that when BMG Heritage re-issues this CD that they also re-produce a miniature version of the original comic book. As an owner of the original LP, I appreciate not having to flip the disk over half way through the story.
