I have gone through the trouble of making this post so that users will cease the questions "What different versions of that song are out there?" "Where can I get a copy?".

Im not gonna go into single edits. their are just too many. While in my opinion some single edits are Superior to their album counterparts BAAB and AFL) others plain suck (DIST for example is terribly edited).

If You Really Want To ALTERNATE VERSION

Its basically the dance beats in the exploded version with repeated backing vocals and meat and Parr singing "I'm taking About" over and over. its just meant to be a dance kit. ive lost my MP3. And with youtube, i tried to upload it once, and it got blocked worldwide.

Getting Away With Murder SCOTT-FREE VERSION

That's better, yeah I got that one, most I've seen have come from France

dukesofhazard · 22 Sep 2010, 01:49

Ken Bruce version of Blind As A Bat was available on itunes. Don't think it is anymore though

I got the original almost six months prior to the album being released! I made an offer no one could have refused.

Sarge · 22 Sep 2010, 02:22

Why doesn't the Bat II / WTTN period appear on your list (except for that Lemon version)?

Also, there's an "alternative version" of "Don't You Look At Me Like That" on the "Razor's Edge" 12", an extended version of "Take a Number" (or you could count the short version as a single edit), an acoustic version of Objects, the single/duet version of "Is Nothing Sacred" and a couple of songs on the US/MCA version of "Bad Attitude" of course.

Edits, mostly. And the unplugged version of "Anything for Love".

AndrewG · 22 Sep 2010, 11:47

I've heard OF these acoustic versions but never actually heard them. Are these just different mixes with some of the instrumentation left out or in fact different recordings?

RCA.

That's why many of them don't differ that much from the original versions with regard to sound but someone was very creative when it comes to the titles: Baseball / football guys for Bat II and old movies for WTTN. (Kiss Me Deadly, for example, one of my favorite Robert Aldrich movies.)

These acoustic versions are just without most of the guitars, very piano driven.

The full length version of ILFY from the UK digipack single is a remix. It has a slightly different guitar solo, and additional lead guitar on other parts. Listen closely and you'll spot the differences.

Is that the "Fountain Head" mix?

**RadioMaster** · 22 Sep 2010, 20:48

never heard of AFL and Objects unplugged. Actually the idea of acoustic versions of overblown steinman productions seems kinda strange to me...

They're not worth getting excited over.

Not sure if you'd count these but what about the remixed versions of the "Bad Attitude" tracks that have popped up on compilation disks? Especially "Surf's Up", found it on a German CD called "back from hell: very best of" (no relation to the 2 disc set we're all familiar with) and it's way different than the original.

They originate form the RCA (American) release of Bad Attitude where the tracks were remastered and remixed prior to release.
