I love 'Duck Rock', but charging nearly £45 to watch a couple of guys play a record and talk about it, is a wheeze McLaren would be proud of.

The lengthy Double Dutch sequence is fantastic.

Inspired by Sleeve's post on the "what was the last 'classic album' you got and were knocked out by?" thread, I checked out "Duck Rock", which I had someone never heard though I'd heard a couple of the singles back in the day. Pretty cool! I had no idea this album intersected with Trevor Horn and Anne Dudley and that early Art Of Noise was basically being recorded at the same time.
I noticed there's a 40th anniversary release that added an EP of b-sides:https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/malcolm-mclaren-duck-rock-2lp-limited-edition/
Given that, I wondered what else is out there to be collected. Here's what I found:Buffalo Gals (Scratch version aka Special Stereo mix) - 3:41Buffalo Gals (Trad Square) - 3:41She's Looking Like A Hobo - 3:33Double Dutch (Long version) - 8:23 - same as "New Dance mix" but adds 8 bars before vocal startsHobo Scratch (She's Looking Like A Hobo) - 9:05 - Discogs says there's a shorter version tooD'ya Like Scratchin' (Special version with the Red River Valley Gals) - 5:24 World's Famous (Radio ID) - 3:19Hobo (Scratch) - 5:42Would Ya Like More Scratchin' (New York City remix) - 3:09
I think I got it all, though back in those days, remixes were carelessly re-labeled on different pressings or sometimes attributed to LP versions, edits were often unlabeled and things get confusing pretty quickly.

Co-sign. I bought this LP within the last 6 months but not had a turntable for a while. Time to correct that. I hadn’t made the AoN connection but makes sense.
