Question about versions of 'I'd Love To'

ordinaryboy

am i really so strange?
Hi all

Having recently discovered via Passions that the version of 'I'd Love To' on 'My Early Burglary Years' is different to the one included on the centenary rerelease of 'Viva Hate', (I've got the centenary one) could anyone tell me the differences? I'd be wonderfully grateful :)
 
yeah i noticed it myself.

the guitar intro is the main difference. on burglary years, it doesn't have it.
 
the differences are subtle throughout, but yes its mostly in the intro. ive found it difficult deciding which iprefer- idont know how anyone could say one version is "much" better than the other with them being so very similar.
 
The version oddly added as an extra track on Viva Hate is the original b-side of The More You Ignore Me... while Burglary Years contains an alternate take. I don't know why - but a similar thing happened with The Smiths when the alternate version of Stretch Out... was used on The World Won't Listen.
