Tones on Tail question.

Okay, I have a question about a Tones on Tail song. I already have Everything!, of course. I stumbled upon a review of the CD recently, to read that ToT released one 7" single that didn't make it to Everything! Does anyone know what it's called? More importantly, does anyone have a copy? Thanks a bunch.

Not sure about a 7" single, but there IS a US promo-only CD that was released at the same time as "Everything" entitled "Something" - and it had mixes that weren't included on "Everything" - though - it's not particularly interesting unless you're one of

Hmmm...

Here's the review I read it from:

I've seen that before, Waukena, just hadn't thought to look there now. Damn it! I would love a new ToT song! :P

The only thing I see that I don't recognize is:
"(Beam Me Up Scotty, There's No Intelligent Life Down Here)"

which might be jokey equivalent of Wall of Voodoo's "There Is Nothing on This Side". Anybody know what this is?

"Now We Lustre" is basically "There's Only One" played backwards. If memory serves the Beam me Up... part was just tacked on to the title of "Now We Lustre"
