One of the major drawbacks of 8-tracks was the need to evenly divide albums into four pieces, which works with short songs, but not with this album. Dogs fades out and in from 1 to 2, and then Pigs On The Wing fills out the rest of the time. To make it an even time split, this song is Parts 1 & 2, connected in between by a guitar solo by Snowy White, a friend and long-time live player with the band.

So that's the explanation. Maybe I'll find out where we can get this on CD next.....
Yes, that's all correct, and man what an amazing solo! I think I almost enjoy that piece more than the rest of the album (maybe). You can find a cd recording of the track on Snowy White's rarities compilation Gold Top.
