There is a difference from getting material from a different studio session
than the same session that produced the released product. Thus is why From
Lifehouse to Leeds was so big.

The mixes aren't what's important. It's the fact that the original master
was touched and transformed with modern technology. I could care less about
remixing, because Im used to how it sounded when I was 10.

But WHY search them out? Is it really worth spending double the price of a
CD in the US for an import for one song? Personally I'm dissapointed with
the new Quick One CD compared to the old LP version of Whiskey Man. Maybe I
do like the first version I heard the best because of it's familiarity. I
still hate A Quick One (the song) because it's not in stereo anymore.

Well, do you buy music of other artists now? Would Data approve of such
behavior? :)
