Commentary
On The Real New Fall LP, “Loop 41” (“41 Loop” on the US version of the album) is paired with “Houston” as a single track, but it acts as a half-minute prelude. It was occasionally played on tape at gigs, but never performed live as far as we know. It doesn’t appear on the released version of “Country on the Click”. I don’t think we need to treat it as part of the cover version of “Houston”.
