It is the same song and the same artist, or is it? Something's definitely and distinctly different about these. Must be, but it's played by the same artists more or less, just might as well be the same song, the same version but it just isn't. They're twisted, warped or something other than other one. These are remakes, live, sessions, acoustic or may just be the early versions. You might just like it this way. Here you'll be looking or listening to them in a different way. A few are so close with their studio versions and some I'd say are plainly unusual.
01. Get A Room - Psychedelic Furs
This is an adorable acoustic version of "Get A Room" originally found on the album "The World Outside".
02. A Small Mercy - Fra Lippo Lippi
The second track on the album :Small Mercies", "A Small Mercy," is the early birth of one of Fra Lippo Lippi's future hits, "Everytime I See You."
03. Brighter - The Railway Children
The rare acoustic version of "Brighter" found on their acoustic release "Gentle Sound".
04. Hole In The Holy - Echo and the Bunnymen
A remake of my favorite "Over You".
05. Crowning Glory - The Wild Swans
A remake of the ever enchanting "The Whirlpool Heart".

More upbeat version of Housemartins' lovely "Think For A Minute'.
