Does anyone have an actual Geffen version?

This Malaysian version moves "Snare, Girl" to the end of side 1, I assume. Then there's this Polish version which appears to retain the original track order but also credits both Sony Youth and Sonic Yorth. Iee Ransloo also makes an appearance!

Basically I'm just curious if the 'official' cassette release reconfigured the track order at all.

I still regret that no one offered to pay for a copy of "No Setlist" with a
cassette of "A Thousand Leaves" in lieu of money.

Chris, I am pretty sure at one time I sent you a scan of the Korean version.

I know I have that and NYC Flowers and Ghosts on cassette. If you PM me in two weeks I will dig it out of storage and scan it.

[Chris Lawrence]

Thank you! It looks like the Polish cassette of NYC Ghosts has the LP tracklist - cool!! never noticed that...

[SonicBebs]

what, so the running order is different on different formats?

[E. Noisefield]

I have it on cassette but it's in storage with all the other shit that I can't take with me every time I move. I've actually had two copies, one is Korean I believe, and the other I don't remember, cause it's been years since I've even seen it.

I don't recall any difference in duration or order, but don't take my word for it.

Sometimes it's necessary to rearrange tracks to balance out a side-based format. I imagine the CD running order would be considered 'canon', but "NYC Ghosts", "SYR4", and "Murray Street" all had altered track orders for the vinyl versions.

In the seventies it was quite typical that in LP and cassette was different running orders. I have had cassette versions from Black Sabbath Master of Reality and Vol.4, Ten Years After a Space in time and Deep Purple Machine Head. They all got at least little differences, in Master Of Reality there is Orchid on the end of side a, but in LP it´s the first on side B, the running order is the same.
