I recently got the Gary Brooker CD, "Lead Me to The Water", remastered and
which was supposed to feature a bonus track B-side recorded with Clapton
called "Chasing the Chop". Well, there is only one bonus track and it's not
the one I was looking for. Anyone know what happened to the other?



Here's and extract from the original media release: "In March 1980, Eric
Clapton joined Gary Brooker in the studio to help record Gary's new single
along with Dave Markee (bass), Henry Spinetti (drums) and Gallagher and Lyle
(backing vocals). They recorded "Leave The Candle" b/w "Chasing The Chop."
Released by Chrysalis in April 1981, it has been much sought after by
collector's of both Brooker's and Clapton's music for many years. On 30 May,
Estoteric Recordings will re-release Brooker's second solo album, Lead Me To
The Water with "Chasing The Chop" as a bonus track."
