OK.... all I can say then is I'm glad that you included that bit of the song... and regret the fact that the Drexters didn't make a 3-4..oh well, up to 5 minute long version...with vocals!... very good set in the outcuts disk too...I'm sure it must've been hard to set'em aside. ..but I'll replay "If I needed someone" again... great!
