20th anniversary re-release of Sinead O'Connor's "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got"

[Not Right in the Head]

Yes, that Sinead album--the one that everybody has. Nevermind that this is really the 19th anniversary of its release; EMI is calling this the 20th anniversary special edition. It's supposed to be released "soon".

From Sinead's MySpaz blog:

There will be a re-release of "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" including a few special tracks that are hard to find or unreleased.

Let's hope that those typos ("Feels So Different", "Nothing Comares 2 U", "The Last Day of Our Aquaintance") don't make it onto the final release!

And if you're at all interested in Sinead, be sure to check out my work-in-progress discography of her recent work (complete with high-res scans), which is intended to supplement other Sinead discographies, most of which stop around 2004-2005.

Too bad it doesn't include her live-cover of "The hand that rocks the cradle".

Would you like a good audience recording of that uploaded here? I've got two--both with Rourke & Joyce.

Not to butt in, but if you don't mind uploading it I'd love to hear it. I've always wanted to hear a woman sing that song. I think the lyrics reveal quite a bit more about the song when you consider them from a woman's point-of-view.

Sorry--I somehow missed your post!

Here you go: 192kbps MP3, from FLAC. Live 04/22/1988 at The Stone, San Francisco, CA.

The sound quality is a bit better than the MTV Unplugged version that Uncleskinny uploaded a while back with his collection of Smiths covers.

She drops the "your mother, she just never knew" bit.

It's out now in the UK & Europe; we in the US have to wait until next Tuesday. I got a promo copy a few weeks ago and have been listening to it constantly. Can't wait!
