    I find it very sad that for whatever reason, Yoko won’t allow the band to include “Don’t Worry” on subsequent pressings of this album. It’s a great recording; Fred and the girls sing the title in so many wonderful and different ways, while the band paints this relentless, brilliant musical backdrop that just sounds ... well, great. “Moon 83” is cool, but I miss “Don’t Worry” not being on the CD, so I just burned my own copy of the album to cd. Problem solved.
