I have a "Laserdisc" player (the size of vinyl). I have TKAA and the segment for "A Quick One" id the same as the VHS. For those of you that don't know, you can see the entire song on "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus", where Jeff Stein took it from.

I have an older copy on VHS which *doesn't* have the bonus video, & it's
*still* all chopped up ! This problem is a real puzzler. It's not like the original
version was too long, & needed to be shortened. I always thought I just made
a mistake & bought a! cheap version or something.
I remember back in the 80's, a friend of mine had one of those old movie "disc"
players. I'm talking those BIG discs, the size of vinyl records. Anyway, we rented
The Kids Are Alright movie, & I'm sure it was the full-length version.
