According to discogs there are 2 versions of PopArt 3xLP French Edition

Version 1.

Version 2.

As far as I can tell the only difference seems to be that version 1 has the Metropolis Mastering logo on 2 sides (side A & F). Where the logo doesn't appear on version 2. Does anybody see any other...

Sorry if this was discussed before, but nothing came up using the Search function.
Just today I realised that the mix of Friendly Fire included on Format is a different version compared with the I Get Along DVD single and Nightlife/Further listening version.

Both are out of print.

Have you ever noticed how bad the attempts to recreate West End Girls are? Go and check out YouTube. All but one don't even get close. Not only are the sounds wrong in most cases, but they don't even get the notes correct. Especially the Trumpet solo - no one gets that even close.

Has anybody got this advance cassette? And can tell what version of That's My Impression is on there? 7 or 12 or something else?
