[Buying the albums sampled on "Picnic.]
This is a very odd LP, not least because of the frankly pretentious way the tracks are organised. Strictly speaking, there are only 4 tracks on the album, two on each side, but 3 of these are split into discrete titles, so there are really 10 tracks on the record, 5 on each side. The tracklisting on the back cover is detailed and in small block capitals, but I set it out here in ordinary text:
