Well, I�ve been away for a loooong while (only lurking at the reflector
site) but I couldn�t hold myself. I�ve resubscribed. I think I haven�t
seen a total overview of all the differences between the Best
of...-versions and the originals, so here goes:
The Best Of 1980-1990
Pride: - (nothing new)
New Year�s day: I presume this is the single version as it has the
same length. Don�t know, though, if the version on the 7" also has
the skip around 0:58 (don�t have it)
With or without you: -
I still haven�t found...: -
Sunday Bloody Sunday: The version on TBO is 3 seconds longer and I
cannot really explain why. My only suggestion is that the pitch is
a bit (1%) lower, but I�m not sure.
Bad: On TUF, just before the Revelation...-part, Bono does some
hoo-hoo�s. These are left out on TBO, which makes the song 16
seconds shorter.
Where the streets...: This version is an edit of the album version.
This is not the single edit! That version had backing vocals by The
Edge, this one doesn�t.
I will follow: -
The unforgettable fire: -
Desire: -
When love comes to town: Here, the outro is slightly longer. For the
maniacs: at 4:12 you can hear an extra guitar lick of BB which you
couldn�t hear on the R&H version.
Angel of Harlem: -
All I want is you: -
October: - (no, my CD plays the whole song and not just a snippet)
The B-Sides
The three sunrises: This version is a it longer (3 secs) and i think
it is the intro (fade-in) which is responsible for this.
Spanish eyes: -
Sweetest thing: -
Love comes tumbling: The intro is much shorter and different (the
false start). On the original, Bono would not immediately start
singing after the guitar intro, but first a section with the riff
would follow.
Bass trap: Large edit (1:30), but I don�t know where (haven�t got the
single with me). Around 1:02 I do hear a skip, so it could be at
that point.
Dancing barefoot: 30 seconds longer. This could be the version as
found on Threesome (the soundtrack). On the version on the
WLCTT-single, Edge�s guitar wouldn�t go into �overdrive�, just
before the "Oh God, I feel for you"-section.
Everlasting love: -
Unchained melody: -
Walk to the water: -
Luminous times: -
Hallelujah here she comes: ? (don�t have the single here, so I can�t
compare, but I thought that it was longer on the Desire-single)
Silver and gold: -
Endless deep: ? (I had never heard the song before)
A room at the Heartbreak Hotel: For some reasons this version is
about 1 minute shorter. On the AOH-single, there would follow a
section with more "Hallelujah"�s.
Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl: ? (never heard the original
before)
Phew, that�s the whole list, as far as I�ve heard it.
C�ya

Tell me the definition of a sell out
Cast your first stone and then get the hell out
People say they know me I can tell you that they don�t
People say they own me I can tell you that they won�t
