Ok, here's a question -- I have absolutely no clue what this sentence means --
"When the US version of the album was rapidly re-pressed to include 'Dear God', this was the song that was dropped from the running order."
If you want to see how it's coming along, it's at A3327068

Hi Mikey,
When the album was re-pressed in the US to include Dear God (remember this was back in the days of vinyl, when there wasn't as much playing time as on a CD), Mermaid Smiled was the song that was excluded from the "new" version of the album to make way for Dear God.
Looking good so far!

Ah, I get it now. The problem was that I wasn't familiar with the word "re-pressed" -- is there perhaps another way we could write this to help everyone understand?

Could you substitute the word reissued for repressed?

Yup, that should work. Thanks!
I'll probably send it back today or tomorrow -- this was an easy one to sub-edit.
