It's the original 7" News from Babel release, included in the
subscription series for ReR, and then part of the Recommended Records
7" series, now long out of print. I like the song quite a bit,
though it's not particularly long or significantly different from the
material in other two CDs; of course Dagmar sounds excellent, as
does the entire band. For me it's great to have the complete
picture, and to be able to hear this otherwise very obscure piece,
restored with the original art work from the single.

Still I don't think it's the best reason to buy the News from Babel
box, I think the re-mastering work on all the material in the box is
the real winner here. I've known this material since the 80's, but I
was incredibly surprised at the level of detail that comes out in all
the recordings, so many musical gestures that I never noticed
before. Kudos to Chris Cutler and crew for restoring this important
and excellent music.
