Does anyone else remember the album version? 17 minutes long and everyone could pound out the drum solo on the coffee table.

i wish the 60's would have had the CGI computing power of today for their pyschadelic visualizations

I would have been in more psychedelic trouble than I already was Mr. Deathcow.

is that Peter Murphy, or is that Andrew Eldrich? I can't tell.

I don't know . . . I'll try to find out.

Not dead. Fixed.

Looks dead

Alive! Alive!

The year the album came out, my parents each bought it for the other for Christmas. Groovy.
