God, I just love this. Has a charm not present on the White Music version...
Brilliant.
I've got a version of "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" wich I've managed to take from the dubbed version of the Rude Boy soundtrack. I've removed the live track from Glasgow Apollo - Tuesday 4 July 1978 just leaving the track the band dubbed on top in Basing Street Studios. This is a different version to the 7'' and the RAR alt. version. I like it at least as much as the official 7''.

Where would I find such a version?

In my music library. I will be sharing with all in time. I'm putting something together at the moment. If that doesn't work out then I will simply upload the track as a stand alone download. Patience my dear boy.

Had a listen to a some of the songs in this thread tonight and enjoyed quite a few. People should post more of them.
Here's the best version of Waterloo by ABBA. An early rejected mix but I love the louder guitars and extra "oh yeahs!" The Wall of Sound never sounded better...

That version is excellent.

Maybe not better but I still love the alternate version of this song, as it first appeared as a b-side. Still wondering where this song has been all my life, cheers again Marky...

The B-side doesn't quite hit the spot as hard as the other version. But such a great song. It made my day thinking you had heard it for the first time only when I posted it. I remember how I felt affected by it's passion and power on first hearing it. Immense song.

It is already up there with my favourite songs of all time. Must have heard it 200 times since you posted it.

I missed this the first time. I really dig it.

Snap. Cheers again Marky, such a brilliant song and still playing it regularly!
