Greatest Stiffs

Two different versions of this compilation do exist and are very difficult to distinguish. The first pressing was released without a review by Wreckless Eric beforehand and used sped up and re-mixed versions of some songs as they were formerly released on the second record of the double-LP "Big Smash". This did for example contain a sped up version of "Whole Wide World" and also the "Let's Go To The Pictures" remix (versus the original version on "The Wonderful World..." LP) as well as other differences on certain songs. Eric didn't approve of this and the CD was newly remastered and overseen by him personally and then within the same year released again with the intended original versions. This version could be recognized via a sticker on the jewel case that said "These masters have been erically enhanced for your further listening pleasure". So all the first pressings did not have the sticker and only the remastered version had it. The given times of the songs on the back sleeve are not necessarily correct as they may not have printed new sleeves. Comes with a Metro/Stiff merch card in the size of the booklet.
