Absolutely.

RE: the Comeback Special - the orchestration all over that classic hits medley was completely unnecessary. Guitar, bass and drums. That's where the king lives.

Au Contraire. The King lives wherever he damn well pleases.

I lend my support to your position. I've never enjoyed Vegas Elvis with all the horns and strings.

I'm talking about Memphis Elvis, which predated Vegas Elvis by about 3 years.


EDITED to add that pesky modifier.

The timeline is wrong.

Oops. Vegas Elvis.

Hanky Panky Nohow, the Drone Mix.

The Gestalt mix of "Love Like Blood" by Killing Joke.
Babylon's Burning album version from "The Crack".

The demo of Morrissey's Irish Blood English Heart sounds much better to my cloth ears than the released version... Take a listen for yourselves

The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet: The Peel Session has better singing, though the guitar isn't as good.
BAD - Sudden Impact: The Dust brothers remix with the Billie Jean sample.
The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps: George solo with voice and acoustic, the full band treatment is an overproduced mess. And Eric Clapton's on it.
Surrender - Cheap Trick: I prefer the punky snottiness of the studio take over the sleek rock of the Budokan version.
SLF - Fly the Flag: Peel Session is even angrier and attitude-packed than the NH version.
XTC - Runaway: The BBC session. Even more melancholy than the original.

I do too, but both are great.

I like the studio too.

I totally enjoy both, there's not much in it.

Mind you, the studio take of "I Want You To Want Me" is kicked in the flaccid balls by the Budokan version.

100% Wolston.

I like that little piano bit in the studio version of IWYTWM
