I think I have that album ... and I like that Red Right Hand song a lot.
In a way, this discussion links to yours in more ways than one, because of the William S. Burroughs Connection.
One of my favorite version variations is "Excellent Birds/This is the Picture"
I first heard it on Laurie Anderson's album, "Mr. Heartbreak". She sings it along with Peter Gabriel.
It also appears on his album "So". Different version. She sings it along with him.
There is a yet again different version in Laurie's Concert film "Home of the Brave."
I saw Peter Gabriel perform it live on his So tour, both the inbound and outbound legs.
And I saw Laurie's live version on her Strange Angels tour.
Each version was unique, some subtlely, some strikingly.
