Hidden extended versions of songs

[JF]

Oh, there was a CD-Rom that came out at the time of STP where you were able to mix your own version of the song STP.

From memory the drums were different on it.

"Past to present"

But maybe the mixer thing was on the MK website?

At the risk of sounding like a geek on one of the "pre FM" Alchemy sets that is the same recording there is an extra bar in the outro of Romeo and Juliet and also a slightly different mix.  Listen here

Actually that pre-fm seems to me like a pre-mix of the Alchemy master as there are plenty of things you can listen in this version that you can't in Alchemy, I remember being shocked about some piano parts at the end of Tunnel of love, also some things in the end of Romeo etc etc

regarding Alchemy you can also add Mark's speech about spanish city during TOL intro which figures only in the video, not on the vinyl/CD

Perfect song!
Great guitar sound, and imho his voice sounded better on the OES album than on any other recording. Dark, smoky, raspy... just terminally cool.
