While the CD release of "Track Of The Scarab" has only sections 1 to 5, the original 1978 vinyl album has an additional section not included on the CD wherein Ford makes a sudden transition from moody narrated soundscapes into a sort of nocturnal jazz-disco reprise of the melodies from sections 1 to 5: "These are the sounds of Egypt of antiquity—but there is a pulsating Egypt of today, an egypt of now..." It's a cleanly funky instrumental with some piano soloing. I think it was left off the 1999 CD reissue because having the phrase "Egypt of today, Egypt of now" in there was a bit laughable in 1999 when the funky instrumental sounds so dated. Perhaps it was thought too distracting, not serious enough. Just a guess! Oh, also the LP has the second side, "Songs From The Book Of Solomon" (or "Words From The Song Of Solomon" as the album subtitle says.)
