Hi,
Several years ago, I bought Club Ninja, this was a few days into it's UK release. I played this record to death (almost). In 2002, I lost my copy, but I was unaware as I still had the cover. Not long after discovering this, I repurchased another copy on vinyl only to find that Madness to the Method sounded different. Has this been rerecorded on later releases or are my ears getting too old. I was sure the original version ended with a ripping guitar solo played slightly in the background, similar to the ending of Frankenstein. Where as I can only really hear piano, over chords on the "other" version.
Is this the case, or has the madness finally consumed me..
Thanks |

The UK mix was different to the US release...
This still doesn't mean you're NOT mad though...

Sandy Pearlman remixed some of "Ninja" for the UK release, for what purpose I don't know. I'm not sure I have a copy of that version. Alas, my vinyl records were fairly well destroyed by my kids growing up.

Alas, my vinyl records were fairly well destroyed by my kids growing up. I always thought that SP remixed Club Ninja after the rushed UK mix, which would have been in that case the original mix... (and I really prefer the UK mix, or at least the memories I have from it...) |

We in the UK got a sort of "pre-mix" version of CN in November 1985 to have it out in time for the UK tour that began 24 Nov 85 - then there was a Dutch version that came out in December 85 (I never owned this so I don't know what mix it was) - dunno why it got a "pre-release" in Holland, as there was no tour there - and then the LP finally came out in the US in January 86.

I love the live version of Make Rock Not War with the ripping solo at the end where the studio version does not have  |

I got the extended versions of MRNW and White Flags from my buddy Phil at Zig Zag Records in Brooklyn.I think he made me a cassette-not sure if I actually got the record.Never knew there was another version of Madness a great tune and an all-time BOC fave.
