QuoteDoxa Okay, out of curiosity I did some research, and I get to conclusion that the first 'cold end' edit of the song derives from the 1984 'digital reissues' series, which was the first CD version of it. (The series that for the very first time ever offered also BEGGARS BANQUET in a toilet cover). The handy criterion in judging if it is a 'cold end' version is th

Quoteironbelly Doxa There are two different recordings of Tell Me on the first LP. Tell Me short version. This one plays only 2,52 minutes and is a totally different take than the long one. Jaggers singing and Bills bass are clearly different. The rumour is that the producer by mistake used the wrong demo tape for the acetate.

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteRollingSebas My 1A/1A pressing has the cover from photo 3, but without the bending of the paper strip. So I expect the cover on photo 3 need to be the 1st. Or because my cover doesn't have the bended paper strip, it means this is a 5th cover version? I expect the vinyl / cover combinations aren't so chronological as we hope.
