There's a poor quality demo, also from 71, which is very similar. The chorus on that is Kill Our Sons.

For those in the US, I was able to at least listen to the previews with this link:

(Sorry to be beggy, but if anyone is willing to help out a fan in the US, please DM me.)

That's still a thing?!

This will be bootlegged onto vinyl and put on eBay in the very near future.

yes it's still around if you know how to find it. Seems the torrent has no seeders and never did have, but its been listed there for a few days. It'll be fun to hear the audio deteriorate as the bloggers and bootleggers try to improve the sound. Same as they did with Bowie's "Toy"

You can accuse record labels of a lot of things, but being smart is not one of them.
