Do you think I Want a Dog was planned to be a single?

I had never listened to this version (edited):

No, it wasn’t. All the Introspective tracks had 7” edits made, for US radio. For example, here is I’m not scared edited:

And It’s alright:

While we are talking about it. Here are the other edits to make the album complete.

Left to my own devices:

Domino Dancing:

Always on my mind/In my house:

[Dog]

I think this is actually the official I want a dog one:

The first post is most likely a fan edit.

Also interesting: The whole album with those edits - so basically an Introspective-EP.

Fleshed out with Don Juan, I get excited and One of the crowd, this could've been the US release of the LP... perhaps it would've fared better.

- The sound of the Atom Splitting
- I get excited (full version)
- Always on my Mind (12 "extended version)
- I'm not Scared (Introspective version)
- Domino Dancing (Introspective version)
- I Want a Dog
- It's Alright (single version)
- Left to my own Devices (Introspective version)

Much better.

TSOTAS is divisive. Personally I'm a fan of it because its so f'ing mental, but I dont think it would have fared well on an album as an opener. It's quite an oddity.

Good summary... and honestly, there isn't anything I'd change about Introspective.

And as great as I Get Excited is, it has the sound palette of Actually, not Introspective.

Metta,

I'm not talking about my preferences but about what would've made more impact on the US market.
My version of Introspective would've been a double album with the following additions:
I get excited (full version)
One of the crowd
Don Juan
If there was love (Neil version)
Occupy your mind (Neil version)

Do those last two exist?

Do those last two exist?

At least as demos, I guess?
