Irish B-sides vs U.S. B-sides

OSully · 08-24-2004, 03:56 AM

OK guys, I know you're all probably sick to death of discussing the B-sides, and forgive me if somewhere this is already answered, but...

before I buymy copy of the B-sides, are the only differences the cover art and did I read somewhere the Irish version has an additional song or something? I saw it in a store today, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something huge if I get what's selling here in the States. For some strange reason, I want the Irish one with the elephant on the front...it seems more 'authentic' or something[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]!!!! And if I DO get that one, I'm thinking either through the D.R. website or E-bay...do y'all concur?

Thanks for your help, friends![img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img]

ermm....well i bought both and my US one turned up today. It has the same artwork as the volcano single and only has 7 tracks. The irish version has the elephant ( which is an artwork style we have seen before but has never been used on any single?....i don't think?) and the irish version has 8 tracks with the radio edit version of cannonball on it. In my opinion they are both good and the cannonball radio edit is fairly appauling and you won't be missing out much with out it
