Interesting find - another version of the double album

hi

please don't ask, you know items appear and disappear,are played to you, you promise ....

The following comes from a cassette, and is a proposed version of the Secret Messages double LP

Side 1

Secret Messages, Loser Gone Wild, Bluebird, Take Me On And On

as before but Secret Messages might be what is referenced on Robert Porters jefflynnesongs.com

"Secret Messages (the song) has an early mix with Jeff's vocals less processed and a slightly different intro."

Remember the source is a cassette made over 30 years ago

Side 2

Stranger, No Way Out, Beatles Forever, Letter From Spain,Mandalay

Or perhaps the missing disc 1 of the 4th March 83 SM acetate

Side 3

Train Of Gold, Danger Ahead, Afterall, Endless Lies, Hello My Old Friend 

Afterall is the 41 second version (or closer to 36)

Hello My Old Friend does have wind noise before it, but its close to 6 seconds

Danger ahead clocks in around 3:30, rather than 3:50, It sounds slightly sped up, but listening to the released version again, that now sounds slightly slowed down, These 50 year old ears are not sure.

And might be what's causing confusion on the acetates previously mentioned.

Side 4

Four Little Diamonds, Buildings Have Eyes, Time After Time, Rock and Roll is King.

Some of the songs are linked in the same way as happens on side 1.
