There's another alternate version of The Beach on the 2008 Collectors Edition of Power, Corruption & Lies.
Plus a rumoured 25 or so copies of a 7" edit that was never released and I don't believe has ever materialised anywhere physically or online.

Yay! Just found it (The beach 2008) on y-t. I was able to spot all the subtle differences at first listen ![[:d]](/emoticons/biggrin.gif){kind=small}
...
I can't believe how I lived the last 12 years completely unaware of this version existence, thanks!.

What's the duvet brothers video version? Not heard of that.

Out of curiosity, is that on the "corrected" Collector's Edition bonus disc or the original "from vinyl transfer" one that was subsequently withdrawn?

That's a blanket statement.

They weren't vinyl transfers - the faulty discs were mastered from DATs played back on a glitchy DAT machine. Can't remember if it was on the faulty discs, but I suspect so. Definitely on the corrected versions.
😕 Hard question of the day... where could I buy '2008 Collectors Edition of Power, Corruption & Lies' - in FLAC or CD format? I can't find it anywhere. [:eek]

U-Matics rather than DAT.
