Looking on discogs for the version with
"CBS inc" on bottom of label AND 'Made in England' on perimeter AND "Record 1" printed under CBSA 3105
on both sides.
Or i can send scans to add this one...
Best regards

Isn't this German issue just the same as this European one? https://discogs.pelisguay.com/U2-New-Years-Day-Long-Version/release/7898892
-
Can someone help me to convince this one is different to https://discogs.pelisguay.com/U2-New-Years-Day-Long-Version/release/7898892 ?? I Can' see any difference....
Maybe some clearer scans to prove the difference in colour? -
Edited 20 years agoThe four mixes are just the same thing. The radio edit is the short version, the extended version is just the same thing with longer drums, etc. No extra interest on that if you're not a DJ.
And after that you have the less vocal and the no vocal mixes. Do you guess what can you find there? Hurray!!! Nothing new, you the same mix with less vocals and no vocals at all.
Maybe Ferry can do another 4 remixes more: no drums mix, no hihat mix, less bass mix and more leads mix ...
