I personally don't have a problem with "The Battle of Epping Forest" in spite of its silly middle section. Yet there was almost an option for a replacement song from this album's sessions. Steve Hackett resurrected a song called "Deja Vu" for his Genesis Revisited album in 1996. He said he wrote it with Peter Gabriel, but that it was never finished because "More Fool Me" was included to give Phil Collins a vocal number. "Deja Vu" was also performed on Hackett's 2019 tour.

Epping Forest & Ordeal are the best thing on SEBTP
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Or all of the shorter songs (minus "Aisle of Plenty"), although "I Know What I Like" and "After the Ordeal" would have been missed.

I feel if these bonus tracks really had replaced actual album tracks, we'd be complaining about the actual album tracks being left out if said tracks were still released in some form.

And for those who were wondering, I did remember the Yes cover of "America", but I can't seriously consider replacing any song on Fragile.


My playlist for 'Fragile' has the 5 shorter solo pieces stripped out, and has 'America' tacked on at the end - that makes for a more satisfying listen IMO.


Great idea!
