And there will be a (possible longer) Dolby Atmos version?  But it is already online now at streaming...

I don’t understand all these different formats. Will the dolby atmos version be a digital copy only?

nice version, but it's shame they didn't put the whole song with the fabulous outro

I don't understand their strategy : why a "new" version, not That different, on this format ?
ok new stuff is great, but only one song... pfff...

it looks like in 1988 they heard different takes from different gigs and they hesitate which one to use.
maybe they were already 2 different masters for the MFN comp, and finally one was left over
more than 30 years after, when they had to release the double vinyle format, they chose the "other" master....

it made me think to the mistake with the WII mexican promo

[Stiglar]

Interesting choice given that the original live version is so much smoother and tighter,

having said that, cool to hear an alternate version after all these years, Great mix too! Shows what an awesome band they were at the time. 2 shows , 2 different version both great.

Where can I listen Portobello outside of Spotify?

Wow! Thank you very much Dutchessy

I agree. The mix is very good.
But I like the 'old' version better.

Oh yes! What a genius version. It's a pity Mark uses that "calypso" type of sound that rarely, it feels like heaven when he does. He's got a bit of that in his new arrangement of "Postcards From Paraguay" when the solos are played in this very Cuban style or something. But then returns to a regular Paraguay Calypso and reggae MK is something out of this world is that I'm saying.

I wonder if that awkward lick at 9:32 was a decision to cut this version that ridiculously early.

[Jules]

I have the theory that something happened with the París 83 tapes, they couldnt use It to remix It for the lp, and needed to use Another versión of the song.

I dont believe they did it to offer something new, intentionally
