This isn't right.  Spotify just rips the CDs and streams them (or may be 
it gets the bits from the record company, but it's the same thing, and 
obviously there's the usual lossy compression involved in the streaming).  
In particular the version of Swagger they have is the deluxe one, with the 
second CD.

I know people don't get paid much for things via Spotify/equivalent, but 
they do get paid something which lets me listen to things I would not 
otherwise buy (not BAs stuff, clearly) without feeling too bad.

In any case I now have the deluxe Swagger.  When I have time I'm going to 
do some side-by-side comparisons between the various versions of things I 
have (original vinyl Swagger, compilation, reissued Swagger etc) as some 
of the mixes are clearly different (or my ears are giving up, which is 
possible).
