" discogs lists it for twenty cents and there's a youtube of Gloria/Aria Di Lei (the b-sides man!) I may explore more of his catalogue at a later date BUT, it being holiday, i picked up the ole acoustic and hammered out the four chords when it's a cross between "sonic reducer' (E chord fifth, fifth fret then the B has the keith Richard pinky trick and a downstroke ala "street fightin man" and/ or "jumpin jack flash'...I COULD cover it!".....
