Been listening to XTRMNTR a lot this week after reading some of the anniversary pieces and it’s made me start thinking about other albums that have 2 versions of the same song on…
So, as well as Swastika Eyes on XTRMNTR, I could think of Yo la Tengo - Painful (Big day coming) and Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin (Waiting for superman).
What else have we got? Which version is best? Etc. Etc.
Hey hey my my on rust never sleeps
Good shout with Neil Young. Reminded me of the 2 versions of Tonight’s the night too.
Cypress Hill -
Rap Superstar
Rock Superstar
Christ I cant believe I name dropped that song twice today
Style and Rick James Style on Come On Feel The Lemonheads. Both enjoyable, and the repetition fits the stoner theme
Salvador sanchez and pancho villa on ghosts of the great highway by Marky Mark Kozelek and the funky bunch
Think I prefer pancho villa. Love them mandolins
i don’t remember two of these
Sufjan: All Delighted People and All Delighted People (Classic Rock Version)
Red House Painters two versions of mistress
Planet Waves by Bob Dylan has Forever Young followed by Forever Young
Neutral Milk Hotel:
A Baby For Pree and Where You’ll Find Me Now
Morning Bell on Kid A and the bonus disc of Kid A b-sides
I’ll admit it’s been a long time since I listened to XTRMNTR, but I have no idea why the Chemical Brothers remix exists, let alone features on the album. So horribly inferior to the Jagz Kooner mix in every way.
The UK edition has two Supermans and two Prizes. Both of the Mokran remixes are inferior to me, but then again I can’t abide either song nowadays no matter the guise
oh yeah i forgot about those stuck on the end. always thought they were just bonus tracks
I guess they are bonus tracks in a way, but the original edition had them so not ‘bonus’ in the traditional sense
At least it meant “Buggin’” was tacked on the end as well, which is a great song
