But how long is the body croppers mix?  On the CD it's 1:31.  Shatners
Bassoon is a remix of Reworked From Scratch Backwards.  What I was saying is
that it & the dub for lazy loafters mixes are all that's worthwhile on the
single, maybe 11 minutes worth.  Not a bargain.  Does the 12" also have 5
tracks?

Yes.  Actually, I prefer things this way, as long as the remixes stray from
the original.  I hate having to blow $10 on some obscure single just for one
stinkin' remix.
