If you set your CD player's display mode to TIME you can see that before track 7
it COUNTS DOWN for 30 seconds. Great trick! (Sorry for the shouting. Have you
seen any other CDs with trick like this? I have a 99-track Half A Dozen
Provocative Squats promo, too.)

It says in the liner notes, that the "Waltz For Guitar" composition
dates from 1958. FZ never put it on record, I think (well, at least we never saw
it on record, right?).
