	Alan W. Pollack's Notes on "Polythene Pam" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Polythene Pam" maintains a relationship with its preceding (literal) brother track uncannily balanced between the forces of unity and contrast.
		The "Polythene Pam" backing track alternates between a wall of sound similar to, or compatible with that of "Mean Mr Mustard", but it provides some welcome relief using different instrumentation and stereo imaging for the recurring Intro section, and a generally higher quotient of airtime given to instrumental music minus singing.
		"Polythene Pam" creates a more swinging aura without as much syncopation, relying on its faster tempo, and the widespread use of the rhythmic motif that emphasizes the last three eighth notes in the first half of a 4/4 measure; what I jokingly refer to as the Beethoven 5th gambit.

		The throwing away of garbage in thin non-biodegradable polythene bags has made composting of household waste or bio gas production through household waste almost an impossible task for the local authorities.
		The blocking of drains due to these polythene bags has led to the spill over of drainage water on to the road sides.
		We hope that the other local authorities too would have the courage to completely stop the use of these polythene bags in their areas and encourage the production of environmentally friendly bags such as cane, cloth, paper or jute.
