    Mark Powell's liner notes about "Moon In June" are erroneous.
    Hopper and Ratledge come in around the 9:15 mark, and play on over half the song - Mike delivers an exciting solo, and Hopper's bass was never heavier.
    While they refused to play during the 'vocal' portion of the song (that's Robert on vocals, drums, organ/piano), they are hardly giving 'minimal' input.
