Pink Floyd - Pigs on the Wing Parts 1 & 2

The first is better

The definitive one (unless we’re counting Machina and Machina II as one album)

It actually does a really good job in bringing the album together.

One more before bed:

Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks

Five (!) versions of the same song (Étapes 1-3, Chrono and the original)

Couldn’t agree more. The chemical brothers one really doesn’t add anything to the album.

Kevin Morby’s Oh My God and OMG Rock n Roll - he also had the Oh My God chorus on a previous single.

Re-use, re-cycle etc.

Kozelek loves a bit of this.

Salvador Sanchez & Pancho Villa are basically different versions of the same song with different names on Ghosts of the Great Highway.

There are two doubles on Blinking Lights and Other Revelations by EELS.

Repeat on Generation Terrorists. Both terrible, but the US version really takes the biscuit.

Johnny Cash’s two versions of San Quentin on Live At San Quentin is probably my favourite example of this, the whooping and cheering in the crowd is amazing

I can’t believe you’ve done this

YES!

I didn’t read your comment I’m sorry hun
