    There's a rule of 5's in jazz where notes need to return in order to make the listener feel like they've come home. East Of The Equator does not do this consistantly...there's minor chords everywhere. It's unsettling, but that's it's quality !

      My copy comes with the 7" lyric sheet which also came with TEAR 6.
