I Would Rather Have "This Year's Model"

The most copies I've ever owned of the same album? This Years Model

1. On vinyl when first released, "Free album with this single" sticker and Neat/neat neat/stranger in the house 45 included. Cool inner sleeve as well

2. On Cassette

3. Italian copy I bought in Lebanon with additional songs and different cover from same photo shoot

4. American version, "Night Rally" replaced by "Radio radio"

5. CD

6. Extended CD

7. Double CD -I sent Helen Bach a version of "Green Shirt" and I thought she was gonna jump my bones she was so excited. Why? It had an extra verse! (editors note: yup totally, it was shocking AND briliant! -hb)

8. MP3

Comment: I have a friend on Facebook who has 500 different version of Cheap Trick's Live At Budokan, which kinda puts this in perspective.  Dziga Vertov noted that the first version of TYM was so poorly mastered , you could return the album for a new version. Now they'd just call it remastered and sell it to you again.
