The B side to "Straight Ahead" comprises the first two
tracks of Shooting Star's fourth album, Burning. Why the instrumental intro was
deemed necessary is a mystery.
Instead of flowing naturally into the song, it ends abruptly at
1:34, and then "Straight Ahead" begins, just as it does on side A, with no
loss in storyline. There are
even separate tracks on the record, in case picky fans want to eliminate
the intro and cut to the chase, or perhaps eliminate the chase and cut out
after the intro, although there is about a millisecond of dead air in which
to do so.
