Has anyone got the version from the Party party Soundtrack???

Is it different than the version on here?

The one on party Party Soundtrack is the original verison (5:50), the one on the gift and every other comp (5:39 or 5:43) is the re-record that first appeared on the if I was 12"

From where do you have the information, that the song was re-recorded?
I've never spotted any difference between the version on the Party Party Soundtrack and the one on the Gift CD except of a slightly longer fade.

I read it on some Midge Ure discography site, yes it is longer and a re-record. But does anyone have it.

I've got the version from the Party Party CD and it clocks in at 5:43. Perhaps they used different versions on the vinyl and CD issues.

could you PM it to me or post it???

Well, the version clarence posted is identical to the one on the 'If I Was' 12inch and the 'Gift' remasters (I have all of these!)
(So according to the board policy this should be removed as it is still commercially available.)

I also checked my 'Party Party' Vinyl and a MP3 rip I found on the net some time ago and I must admit: Andee, you're right - the version on the original Party Party OST is different!!!

But I'm not sure, if the newer one is really a re-recording or just a remix. On the newer version of "Man Who Sold The World" the piano sound is much more prominent in the mix, the drums sound a little more "crisp" (though still the same computer sounds), the vocals (especially the whispers) are mixed a bit different and it has a different fade out. Everything else seems identical for my ears.

I will post the older version later - no time right now.

@clarence:
Do you own the Party Party CD? Or do you just have an MP3 version from the net?
I have also have a complete MP3 rip of the soundtrack, but I'm not sure if it is really from CD or just a good vinyl remaster. Mine includes the original version of MWSTW, though.
