Versions
The original UK and US vinyl pressings had only eleven tracks, with edited - and much shorter - versions of several key tracks. Most notably, "Big City" was cut in half, only the reprise of "Feel So Sad" was included, and "Billy Whizz" faded out before its "Blue 1" crescendo. Aside from that, the other missing tracks were alternate versions of "Just to See You Smile" and "Feelin' Just Fine", and a reprise of "Set Me Free".
The version of "Drive/Feel So Sad" included on the CD and international (15-track) versions is from the B-side of "Hypnotized". "Just to See You Smile" was the other b-side of that single, in an alternate mix listed as "Just to See You Smile (Honey Pt. 2)", owning up to the track's melodic affinity to the earlier Spacemen 3 tune "Honey". Elsewhere, "Why Couldn't I See" is another song whose main guitar riff is largely derived from the 45-minute improvisation Dreamweapon (the others were "Honey" and "How Does It Feel"); and "I Love You" features an uncredited sample of a Jan and Dean radio jingle for Coca-Cola (possibly written or cowritten by Brian Wilson, from 1963.

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
