'Tis true but that would imply that Love has got a gun wasn't planned to be included leaving side 3 very short indeed...unless they were going to do a full length Ferry 'cross the Mersey and/or a Ballad of 32 as long as that on the recent deluxe edition.
I can't remember exactly what was said but we were told that Wish (the lads were here) was the mini-track between what was Love has got a gun and Ballad of 32. To me it looks like 'Wish' was a simple song name change and nothing else as 'Wish you were here' is in the Love has got a gun lyrics.
Two Tribes without a title could only appear as the 7" version and even then we know it as (Cowboys and Indians). If you look at the album cover, Relax, War and Two Tribes all have what appear to be a mix title underneath the song name. As Two Tribes is different to the 7" it suggests that the mix is called (for the victims of ravishment) and and that (Tag) is unlisted.
It may be true (Tag) is (...ravishment) but the way it's printed makes that difficult to wholly accept without seeing further evidence.
Oh, it also means we have inconsistency in the way the mini-tracks are listed as some have brackets, some don't and others don't appear at all - all very confusing.
