Comments: The Novella album that this song is on, One Big Sky, was released in 1991 on Star Song after they bought out Pure Metal.  So I'm not sure if this is a demo version, or if there was an earlier Pure Metal release of One Big Sky that I'm not aware of.  Jerusalem's Dancing On The Head Of The Serpent was first released in Europe, in 1987 I believe, with 11 songs, including this one.  Many of the songs were then re-recorded with a slightly harder sound, and the album was released in the U.S. in 1988, but this song was left off.  It was included, though, on the 1988 Jerusalem compilation 10 Years After on the cassette version at least, but I'm not sure about the CD version yet.  (That compilation was released on 2 cassettes, but only one CD, so many of the songs were left off of the CD version.  I've seen at least one instance on eBay indicating that the song is listed on the back insert of the CD, but is not on the CD itself.)
