The single version I assume you mean? When I first heard the version on the album I was really suprised, its quite different!
Wow - not sure I ever heard the single version actually!

Sad to see "Crowds" and "All We Ever Wanted" with no votes.

i see that most of the votes were for the first CD. expect for "She's in Parties" which is the only track from their last album on this comp. totally unexpected results as i expected "Bela Lugosi's Dead" to take it very easily in this poll.

The album versh of Spirit is really bombastic and drummy and stuff, the single vrsion is... I dont know how to describe it, very muted and sweet and quite pop-songy? I'd tell Dan which his is but ffs I cant use Spotify in this stupid backwards country anyway THIS is the single version:

listened to this a couple times today. "stigmata martyr" was robbed. "bela lugosi" was robbed-er. live version is stunning.

oops forgot to vote - pretty silly results I say
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 09:13 (twelve years ago) link
Should have voted for Crowds, TBH.

That's the version I posted. This being the first time I've heard it and being intimately familiar with the album version, I kind of hate it and wish it all manner of ill.
― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 14:22 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah the album version is... not as good.
― Medical Dance Crab With Lesson (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 05:28 (twelve years ago) link
missed this, in the flat field & passion of lovers both got robbed imo

I've never been a huge fan of "Kick in the Eye" tbh but otherwise I can get w/these results. You know what is a fucking sick track that got zero votes, though, is "In Fear Of Fear." That should have gotten all the votes that Kick got. Skronk skronk skronk skronk

I always felt all I needed was the two CD volumes of this comp. Plus the BBC sessions, those are always top drawer.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
you need it all. Every last note, and a few live bootlegs.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
You misunderstand me. The album version is amazing. The single version is terrible.
― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 17:19 (twelve years ago) link
both versions are great!
