new (alternative) versions of early singles - for the attention of completists
on occasion I browsed some of the videos from The Early Years Box
it is known that for many videos the soundtracks were re-made and newly overdubbed instead of the original ones
in most cases these were just studio versions without any changes
however at least for two tracks the team had to go beyond simply overdubbing the original audio and make special editing
so for Discorama (and for Tienerklanken too) mimed performance of Paintbox instead of the original mono mix of the track they made a new stereo version - for this they took a track from Relics and added an additional (second) segment at the end Rick Wright "Ah-ah-ah" - the track remained stereo but became closer to the mono mix by duration
also for Samedi they replaced the original Let There Be More Light audio track (by the way in original taken from the U.S. Tower single) - as in 1968 for the single they again downmixed original stereo version - however if in the Tower single the second verse is missing then in the new overdubbed version the fourth verse cut out - instrumental parts at the beginning and at the end also edited a little differently
