(Psychedelic Furs) (tangential Scott content) Alright, so I finally pick up the reissue of the Psychedelic Furs' _Forever Now_, and I see the track listing promises me an early, previously unreleased version of one of my favorite tracks on this album, "Yes I Do" (formerly "Mary Go Round"). Okay - but the version of "Yes I Do" on the original US release of the album is nowhere to be found! As near as I can tell, the verses from "Mary Go Round" end up as the verse on that original version, while the chorus from the version of the song titled "Yes I Do" on this issue is the same as the chorus from that original US release. (So theoretically, I could edit 'em together - I haven't A/B'd 'em to see if they're *really* the same, and I've listened to the reissue only once.) I see from looking around that the UK version of the album had a different rendering of "Yes I Do" - but hey, woulda been nice to include the version us Americans had been listening to for decades too! Fortunately, I haven't yet tossed out my old version of the CD...strange. You'd think they'd have made note of this - but there's no way to tell until you listen, and if you hadn't had the original US release, you wouldn't know at all. Any idea why this was done? Did they lose the master of that version? Did Richard Butler decide he hated it or sumpin'? Curious, too: the US version came in a different cover, which the notes to the reissue say Butler hated. The first album had a different cover, too - but the reissue reproduces it inside. The _Forever Now_ reissue disappears the US cover, along with the US version of the song. Geez, you'd think Donnette's vocals were on the original version or something... ..Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html :: I suspect that the first dictator of this country will be called "Coach" :: --William Gass ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V3 #33 ******************************
