Soon-to-Be Innocent Fun / Let's See

"Soon-to-Be Innocent Fun / Let's See" is a two-part medley written by Arthur Russell and the second track of World of Echo, the longest on the album: 9:36 on the standard CD edition, 9:32 on the 1986 LP listing. The album was first released in the US by Upside Records (UP 60009-1) in 1986 and in the UK by Rough Trade in March 1987. MusicBrainz lists the same recording on the Keep the Lights On soundtrack (September 4, 2012), on Action! 15 Cult Movie Classics (2013) and on the World of Echo reissues of 2004 to 2005 and 2016. We could not verify the recording date, studio, personnel, a statement on the song's meaning, a chart entry or a video; the album is mainly Russell's voice and cello with echo, reverb and distortion.

The upload, from the channel The Sonic Zoo, is a fan upload whose duration and description could not be read; it is almost certainly the album track, the only release of this recording. Lonnie Holley recorded "Soon-to-Be Innocent Fun (Interlude)" for the 2014 Red Hot tribute compilation, according to a summary we did not read in full. The album's reception began unevenly, with Melody Maker's David Stubbs praising it and comparing it to John Martyn's Solid Air, and NME and Q unimpressed; later, Pitchfork gave it 8.4 and ranked it 25th of the 1980s, and Fact named it the best album of the decade.
