Notes


1. Oh Woman, Oh Why? (B-side)
This is NOT the promo mix. The promo mix was in mono and had no echo on vocals. This is the usual commercial release. The Promo version can be found on Artifacts III (although this is a poor dub and it jumps!) and on “John Paul George Ringo in The 1970s” (Melvin Records) as well as on the original Promo single from the US (Apple PRO 6194).
If anyone has either the Melvin bootleg or the Apple promo can they please post it and we’ll put the correct version into “New Moon”

2. Letting Go (single mix)
When it came to release Letting Go as a single, Paul got Alan Parsons to edit and remix the album version. Subsequently, the single version starts with an organ glissando has an edited introduction and fades earlier than the album version in addition to having a punchier mix.

3. Beware My Love (Out-Fake - album version faded in later to approximate but not equal the single release)
Out-fake constructed from album version (you can still hear the organ in intro not on single version). When released as the B-side to Let’Em In the organ coda found at the beginning of the album version was omitted since this was crossfaded with the start of the guitar on the album, on this, the single version the guitar is faded in later.

4. Girl’s School (B-side) NOT the promo edit.
The usual release found on the flip of Mull of Kintyre and also on the 1993 CD issue of London Town. The promo DJ edit WAS available as a bonus track on the 1989 UK CD issue.

5. Take It Away (Out-Fake)
Out-fake constructed from album version. (The opening drum has been edited). The fade is the same as the album version whilst on the single the horns only repeated the phrase twice and not three time. A similar out-fake (called the Extended Version) was available on Suitable For Framing bootleg LP. The proper single edit was available also on Wingspan.

6. The Girl Is Mine (Promo Edit)
From the US promo 45 (Epic 34-03288). Edits out the “talking” part (but is not a straightforward cut). Fade out is slightly longer than the commercial release.

7. Ode To A Koala Bear (Australian Mix ?)
The original posting had a glitch. Was re-posted by myself from Yellow Dog’s Oobu Joobu Volume 16 (where it was a bonus track), on which CD was stated that this mix was available only in Australia on a 12” single (not confirmed). Who knows if this is true? It certainly is a different mix, though.

8. No More Lonely Night (7” Special Dance Mix by Arthur Baker)
Originally issued on the second issue of the 7” single (both in UK and US) and later available as a bonus track on the 1992 UK issue of Give My Regards To Broadstreet CD.

9. No More Lonely Night (Extended Version)
Originally available on the 1st 12” single (both UK & US) and later available as a bonus track on the 1992 UK issue of Give My Regards To Broadstreet CD.

10. No More Lonely Night (Extended Playout Version)
Issued as the 2nd 12” single (both UK & US) this is the Arthur Baker 12” Special Dance Mix. Never commercially released on CD

11. No More Lonely Night (Mole Mix)
12” Promo release only. Never officially released on CD.

12. Spies Like Us (Alternative Mix-Known To His Friends as “Tom”)
From the UK 12” single

13. Spies Like Us (DJ version)
The DJ edit was an identical mix to the usual single release but faded out about 1 minute earlier. Released officially on the usual (not promo), 12” release (UK & US) which was issued the same day as the single.

14. Spies Like Us (Party Mix)
From the UK & US 12” single.
