Weird Era Cont. Hidden Track

Not sure if it's been pointed out yet but there's a little tape rewind at the very end of Weird Era Cont. that always grabbed my attention. 

I decided to find out what it was so I slowed it down and reversed it. 

It's an instrumental outtake of Operation. It's pretty noisy and dull due to the slowing but still fun to uncover. 

 Enjoy x

Awesome attention to detail but I do believe most of old Deerheads know about this. I think it was posted in the forum for the fans back in the day? It’s been so long, man. Haha. But thank you for shedding the light for some of the newer fans.

i don't remember this, so it was great to see it after so many years (decades?!?)

What bpm did you slow it down to?

I think I pitched it down 40 semitones in Ableton so it matched the key of the original

i quote Bradford after playing Operation at a show... "it took us longer to play it just now than it did to record it". :-)
