Heaven Knows I'm miserable Now - slightly different version

[Uncleskinny]

Well, I was looking at Popsike, at some old auction details, looking at stuff I could never afford, and came across this, which some of you may remember. Anyhoo, looking at the listing it mentions a slightly different version of the song, recorded for Earsay. I can't say I've noticed this before, so off to Youtube we go, and there it is...



All I can hear is the drums going on when they don't on the standard version, and a bit of reverb on "Live or die" - is there anything else? Apologies if this has been posted before (which it almost certainly has), but the Archive search didn't come up trumps.

A good song about misery.

Here's a better one though:

Way to over-react, you cretin.

That's super, Peter. Hadn't seen/heard that before. Cheers.

True. Just went through my stuff and realized that I do have this.
Still hadn't seen the video though.

I had one copy of this on my pc two years ago, however I've lost it and I have never thoght to get it once again.
This "alternate" version is better than Complete Pictures version and most interesting too. If I'm not wrong it was recorded at poorest place of Manchester.

Do I get the prize for having noticed this before?

Actually the alternate version found on some 12"s is an extended one. While the one from that Youtube video is an early version that was tweaked a bit before getting released, and is not extended.
