Killing Joke – A New Day
From the counter

Four band members on the credit for "A New Day," and then Chris Kimsey, the one name on there who never stood on their stage. Play it with him in mind and see if you can spot where he got in.

Kimsey's name sits in the credits right alongside the people who played it, which tells you he was in the room for more than just the tape. Put on Killing Joke's 1984 cut of "A New Day" and listen for the co-writer you never knew was there.
