Side 2: Tokyo/Thundercrack/Wings For Wheels (Feb. 5, 1975; later known as Thunder Road)

The original discs came with an insert flyer produced at the time to inform buyers - but this also got the "author" in trouble as it had an address to obtain the items on it - which the law enforcement personnel used to track down the individual. It's shown above - for the first time as far as we know - thanks to Dari and especially Lou for the information.
