Nice Job ,

I can tell because I have them myself that "Money for Nothing" and "So far Away" were also released as 12" vinyl versions ,
the B-side of "So far Away" contains the outro of "Why Worry" which was too long for the LP version :wave

YLT was released as a 7" single  in aid of Great Ormond Street hospital for sick children.  The song started with the sax part (missing the intro) so I'm unsure of the length.  On the B side were Irish Boy and The Road from the Cal soundtrack.  BTW, is this rare?  I have it in excellent condition.

I also have a special edition WOL in 7" that opens out into a double with a nice picture of the National inside.  Record 1:  WOL, b-side TYL (live, Alchemy version).  Record 2:  SOS, b-side Eastbound Train (live).  Reissue of first single.  Is this rare too?  Had these for years and this thread just persuaded me to rake them out!

The Money for Nothing compilation says (on wiki) that it contains remixes of several songs. I check out 2nd hand shops all the time looking for a good condition CD..
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!
