Walk On The Wild Side

LP TRACK LISTING MISMATCHES
With only six track titles correctly matching, the listings for the rear LP sleeve do not match the correct listings on the labels for this MR and the majority of its LP ‘releases’. There are 13 tracks on the LP whereas the sleeve lists 15. To confuse things further the tracks on the LP sleeve are not in numerical sequence unlike the labels which are.
REAR SLEEVE TRACKS
Full Orchestra - Main Theme Walk On The Wild Side, Rejected, Discovery, Furnished Room, Oliver, Juke for Teresina, Comfort Southern, Radio Music Long, Radio Music #2, By The Lake, Enlightenment. Jazz Combo - Iron Rings, Halle’s Jazz, Exit Kitty, Doll House.
It can only be surmised that this listing with some apparently working track names like ‘Radio Music Long’ and ‘Radio Music #2’, was an early pre-release draft track listing for the record that was subsequently radically changed for all the vinyl pressings. The tracks ‘Exit Kitty’ and ‘Juke for Teresina’ have similar but non-identical titles ‘Kitty’ and ‘Teresina’ on the labels. These may or may not be the same pieces of music.
