   Big apologies for perpetuating this mistruth.  I didn't start it myself
(I know I read it somewhere else at some point between ordering the "Pig"
7" & receiving it, & the pig meat chart cover for the 7" seemed to me to
correspond with that idea), but it really affected my perception of the
record.  It seems pigs really do make freeky sounds even when they're doing
alright.  Sorry.
   Emm, so I think you'll have to do a little more than replace
"slaughtered" with "feeding" to make my review make sense now, but...  Yes,
sorry.
