Okay, I have a question about a Tones on Tail song. I already have Everything!, of course. I stumbled upon a review of the CD recently, to read that ToT released one 7" single that didn't make it to Everything! Does anyone know what it's called? More importantly, does anyone have a copy? Thanks a bunch.

Not sure about a 7" single, but there IS a US promo-only CD that was released at the same time as "Everything" entitled "Something" - and it had mixes that weren't included on "Everything" - though - it's not particularly interesting unless you're one of
