So I have two edits of “So What”, which are these:
So What (Short Version) [from Reflex Magazine flexidisc, 4:30]
So What (Cut To The Chase Edit) [source unknown, 3:54]
Anybody know what the difference is between these two? Are they the same edit? I know there’s supposedly 36 seconds difference between the track times, but I can’t listen to the flexidisc right now to verify it’s exactly 4:30…that’s just what Discogs says. Somebody’s turntable could have been slow.
And where did the “Cut To The Chase Edit” come from? Google turns up nothing. Track info says “unreleased”. All I have is a 128kbps mp3 of it that goes back to at least 2006, but no idea what the source was. It just seems to fade out early like the “Short Version” does.
Interesting question. I’ve only heard the flexi short version. I own a copy and I can throw it on the turnrable this evening to confirm the time. Are you able to link an mp3 of the other edit?
I dont know which is which, but on the mind tour the record company offered some magazine or something an xclusive track. think we were down south somewhere
al didn’t have one or couldnt be bothered looking for an unreleased track, so he got the tapes of so what courierd to a local studio and spent about an hour chopping it up. he though it was fucking hilarious.

That sounds like the track for the Reflex Magazine flexidisc. I remember buying the magazine when it came out, back about 89 or 90.
I remember that Reflex issue as well. Flexidisc really was a shit format for music.
not for the fans it wasnt.
it was actually a lifeline for a lot of punk and new wave bands asit meant you could reach a wider audience much more cheaply. through fanzines.
which is easy to forget for the privileged youth of today.
those movements were created by word of mouth and passion, not fucking Itunes.
