Yeah -- I've actually seen the one LP version, too. I think it had more songs than you'd expect on it (and as such, lower sound quality), but I remember them cutting some really good stuff too (I _think_ Snowman was cut, which is odd, because a) Great closer for the album and b) Great song). IIRC, the Chalkhills discography has the songlist on it, though.
With Leisure, I'd like it much more without the sax. The alto sax is one of my least favorite instruments, and even more so when not played well, heh. (It's too squeaky for me. I am fine with people not knowing how to play other instruments, but not alto sax.) Cockpit's OK. It's got a pretty good groove on it, though (I can see why they did the Dance Mixture, even though I'm pretty sure that was a complete joke, heh, as I can't really see much dancing being done to that mix.) As for the third side, sometimes I listen to "Melt The Guns" (I really like the bridge on it with the distorted "I'm speaking to the Justice League of America" part and the scat-outro's OK) and sometimes It's Nearly Africa (Again, the bridge on this one makes it OK), and I pretty much always skip Leisure (stupid sax...) and Knuckle Down (just sorta... I dunno. Phoned In I Guess. But it did enrage a Klansman, so it does get credit for that.).
