I've for 12 gold bars vol 2 and it's the re recorded version on there, noticeably different from the album version. i've just dug it out and played it.

Is it this one youse talking about? Don’t know which version that is - but it don’t matter, it’s still one of the biggest heaps of sh*te I’ve ever heard. Complete synthesiser drenched Rubbish. Everything I hate about post-FF Quo in one song.

Yep, the video posted above is the re-recorded version.
First piece of vinyl i ever bought and i love it.
Weird that someone above has a copy of 12 Gold Bars Vol.2 with this on it. A foreign copy, or was the error corrected eventually with the album version swapped out for the single version? Never heard of that... ever!

It's the 12 gold bars package with vol 1 and 2 as a double album, whether it's a later release I am not sure, got it for one christmas many years ago.

Has anyone kept the advert? It was a full page in Kerrang! I think it said "completely rerecorded". At the time I thought the song was ok, was happy the single was improved with a solo but didnt hear much other difference. Now I think it is terrible ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That is really odd because to my knowledge the new version wasn't released on any cd or compilation until Pictures, and even then it was the 4 cd bix set. Then it later appreared on the deluxe cd of Back to back. Some fans say its a vinyl rip, but to my ears the version on Pictures and Deluxe Back to back sounds like a clean cd version which would have to be ftom the master tapes. It sounds too clean and crackle free to be from vinyl.

I maybe talking dumb here, but I been comparing the two versions of GDTT closely with high quality headphones, and to me the version on B2B sounds like the drums are from a drum machine. I think Quo first experimented with that on Riverside. And I listened closely to the new version and sounds more like Pete Kircher on drums as the rhythm is slightly played slower and more deliberate.
This has probably been debated many times before, so apologies if it has.

Both versions, to me, are as poor as Quo ever got. I never understood the muted enthusiasm for the re-recorded single.
There is no question that there is potential in the song but the arrangement in particular is awful. That keyboard sound, which replaced the guitar for the main riff, plagued quite a few Quo tracks for years afterwards. It's not a pleasant noise. I Wonder Why is another fine example of the, ahem, art.

If I recall correctly, originally, the single version was meant to be on the Tim Turan remaster in 2006. But the record company (or whoever) cocked it up and just repeated the album version.
I personally haven't ever listened to it because I'm not keen on the album and a remaster was never going to encourage me to check it out. But I believe that was the case judging by numerous comments on the old message board.
