    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Extended Version of "1970", February 24, 2012
    By 
    This extended re-release of "1970" has 3 "new" songs and 5 alternate versions of songs from the original release. "All We Ever Got from you is Pain" is an outstanding and surprising addition. With its great melody and beautiful Simon and Grafunkel harmonies from Chilton and Terry Manning, it is easily one of the best songs on the collection.

    "It Isn't Always that Easy" is an acoustic song that stylewise easily could have been an outtake from Big Star's "#1 Record", Which is not particularly surprising since all those recordings were made in the period between his Boxtops time and the formation of Big Star, hence the title "1970."

    "If You Would Marry Me" is obviously a demo, showing Chilton is at his more poppy side accompanied by just a piano.

    The 5 alternate versions are not markedly different, and I believe you have to know the earlier versions very well, to notice differences.

    5.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE IMPORT VERSION TRACK LISTING!, January 16, 2012
    There is an errant Amazon listing for the import version - showing 22 tracks. This is old and incorrect information. The import carries the same 20 tracks as the US version. Those two tracks will be included on a future release. In addition, there is no digital download for the LP. That info is incorrect, as well.
