[edit] Miscellanea
One of the bridge sections of "Clockwork Creep", a song about aircraft terrorism, was re-used as the intro for the 1976 hit single "I'm Mandy Fly Me" off How Dare You!, which features an airplane crash. On that song, the section, whose lyrics go "Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again / 'Cause what goes up must come down", is rendered soft and tinny, as if heard playing from a portable transistor radio.
