Vanishing Girl (Alternate Spoken Outro) Dukes of Stratosphear (XTC) 1987 (Coat of Many Cupboards CD)

Slightly different mix of the Dukes' "Vanishing Girl" than what appears on Psonic Psunspot. The spoken word outro is the main difference:
Recorded at Sawmills Studios, Fowey, Cornwall, UK, in June 1987.
Produced by John Leckie. Engineered by John Cornfield.
Colin Moulding / The Red Curtain (acoustic guitar)
Andy Partridge / Sir John Johns (bass)
Dave Gregory / Lord Cornelius Plum (mellotron, piano, organ, fuzz-tone guitar)
Ian Gregory / E.I.E.I. Owen (drum set)
Written and sung by Colin Moulding ("The Red Curtain").
Child's voice (Lily Fraser):
"A flock of blue-flying things grinned down at us
They were half heifer and half dressing table
Andy Partridge: “The little snatch of speech at the end was an out-take from a whole bunch we did with the young daughter of the studio owner, one Lilley [sic] Fraser. We initially tried to get aged British character actor Derek Guyler to read the psychedelic nonsense between songs in honour of Stanley Unwin's sterling gibberish on the Small Faces' Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. But unfortunately Guyler's agent wanted the sum of £10,000, which was the total budget for the whole album. So little Ms Fraser stepped in and did a great job for a pat on the head and ice cream money.”
Andy: "Vanishing Girl" was steered towards The Hollies a lot. They had two lead singers at the same time, so both Colin and I sang the same so that the voices got smashed into this amorphous Hollies mess.
Gary Pig Gold: Hollies tune, circa '66 (i.e., ‘Pay You Back with Interest’), harmonies and bass line especially. Beatles ending chord (6th, I think).

They should totally have left that spoken part in for the album. Awesome upload.
