'Van Rattford' is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, I know that, so why include it on R2025A? Several reasons:

(1) I wondered how such a technically complex arrangement might sound in a live setting. After dozens of takes all I can say is I hope it would sound something like this.

(2) I figure if I ever cross a large outlaw motorcycle gang, and they consent to give me a last wish, I can ask them to play this song and they might just let me go.

(3) It takes me back to the early 80s where the sounds of hard rock, just like this, actually filled the air. In that sense I built a time machine by making it and that's a whole lot easier than finding a working DeLorean these days.

(4) Jay loved it.
