Hi Uli...and all in Gaffaland!

Um...I received the Single File boxed set for Cnristmas (a numbered
edition)
and it seems to me that the singles in the boxed set are indeed the
same as 
the previously issued singles (musically, that is).  There are some
minor
differences in the picture sleeves tho  (very minor).   However,
perhaps the
original post was referring to the fact that maybe the versions on the
singles (boxed set or seperate) were different than what is found on
the 
albums.   And there ARE some differences.  For example:
   1.  Sat in your Lap is from a earlier mix than what is found on the
album.
       the album version has more "whips' and the hard driving drum
beat is
       muixed further down than on the single.
   2.  the Man With The Child In His Eyes has the "he's here..." at the

       beginning.  (just like the video)
   3.  Ne t'Enfuis Pas is also an earlier mix.  the vocals are
completely
       different. 
   4.  i think the song Army Dreamers does not fade out as on the
album...but
       i don't remember. 

All of this info can be found in the "Collector's Guide" book. 

Are there any other differences between single versions and album
versions
out there? 

peace
