Versions / Swagger

[Tim Bradshaw <tfb@tf...org>]

I've just got around to listening to my copy of the new Beatsongs CD.  
I've noticed, again, something that I noticed previously, listening to 
(presumably the original version) via Spotify. I have the "Huh!" 
compilation which I listened to quite a lot at one stage – it was the 
first BA thing I got on CD and hence the thing I listened to after my 
record player broke.  Anyway, the version of "Huh!" (the track) sounds 
pretty different on Beatsongs (either old or new copy) to the way it 
sounds on "Huh!" (the compilation), and I think this is true for other 
tracks as well.  The performances are the same, but the mix is, I think, 
different.

Is that right?  Were the tracks all remixed or somehow mucked around with 
for the "Huh!" compilation?

Second question: is there going to be a rerelease of "Swagger"?  There is 
a claimed "deluxe" version on Amazon but it's amazingly expensive.  I need 
to get a CD copy of it though, as it's yet another thing I only have on 
record (or I need to get my act together and make my record player work).

Thanks
