The Japanese are notorious for doing this sort of thing. I'm not sure how it works, but the Japanese record-buying public really like to have lush inserts included with the stuff they buy. They want lyrics, photos, the whole works. The Cocteaus have commented and joked about their frustration and fascination with this a few times back in the 80's. Apparently, the record company's Japanese offices have people that listen to the music and "transcribe" the lyrics to be included in the insert. They even did it for "Blue Bell Knoll" when it came out. It's really quite funny. And they went against the band's preference of never having their photographs included as part of the insert or sleeve, as well. Did anyone else notice how elaborate the insert for the Japanese release of Slowdive's "Blue Day" or Pale Saints' "Mrs. Dolphin"? Incidentally, the vinyl release of "Head Over Heels" did include certain phrases of lyrics from a few of the songs (just as the vinyl release of "Garlands" had done): When Mama Was Moth: "When mama was moth, I took bulb form." Glass Candle Grenades: "Glass candle grenades are popping." The Tinderbox (of a heart): "The tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all." My Love Paramour: "Fig up my love paramour, ooze out and away, onehow." Mike iceblink@tiac.net
