Ahh. Then that's all the more interesting.
I have to wonder if "George Jones" was a typo.

Anyone heard this? Because I don't have enough different masterings as it is (original MCA, 'NM' MCA, MFSL, 1993 MCA remaster, DE remaster).
"I know because it is impossible for a tape to hold the compression levels of these treble boosted MFSL's like Something/Anything. The metal particulate on the tape would shatter and all you'd hear is distortion if even that." - VD

Odds and Sods, TKAA and Face Dances came out on Polydor 1993 ish if I remember rightly. The MCAs were widely available in the UK prior to that. The Polydors then cloned everything - including the MCA budget back tray art. All three were done at the same time (check the cat. numbers).

Somehow I missed the Sell Out blurb the last time around.
And as I mentioned elsewhere, Tommy was re-done to clone the re-done MCA. I have to wonder if the original issues were totally separate or not.
