for some reason a band called Guttermouth released an album called "Friendly People" and there is a slow version and a fast version. and also the song tracks are out of order on both. Strange.

From First to Last released a differently mixed version of "Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count" I think a little before or after "Heroin" came out.
The tracks actually do sound significantly different, and in most ways I prefer the newer mix of it.

Not sure if this counts, I havent heard anything from this so called different album: Let it be....naked by the beatles or did Paul re-release it? Let It Be...Naked is what The Beatles "originally intended" Let It Be to sound like. Of course, they only made this claim AFTER their falling out with producer Phil Spektor. I think the original is a thousand times better. Also, in the early days of the Beatles and Stones, almost every album had a US and UK version. This gets especially confusing with the Stones, where the UK version of one album has the same cover as the US version of another

I remember when "Shaka Demus & The Pliers" (remember them) released an album Twist & Shout was not on it, then after "Twist and shout" was a hit they re-released the Album with T&S. Why do i remember this, well i remember my sis getting p'oed because of it (That was annoying). Same thing probably happened with Deftones. "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" took off after they released The White Pony, so the label tacked it on, reissued the album, and pissed off the band. Cracker was another interesting case. Their old label put out a hits collection, with no input from the band, so they re-recorded all the hits and put out their own version on their own. Gang of Four did the same sort of thing with Return the Gift, re-recording their singles because the drums sounded like ass. I have to say, I reallyREALLY prefer the new version of "I Love A Man in Uniform" now that it doesn't sound so 1983. As for the new Pumpkins album, there are four different versions... government-issue, Target, Best Buy, and iTunes, each with their own separate bonus tracks. Seems that the label isn't so big on the concept of the B-side because no one buys singles anymore, riiiiiight?

The Beatles often released US and UK versions of their albums. I know Rubber Soul for sure and a few others, which I can't recall. Rubber Soul and Revolver were different in America and they didn't get Please Please Me, With the Beatles, or the Magical Mystery Tour EP. Another one is Bob Dylan's "The Freewhelin." The early early pressings had 4 songs not available on the other pressings. They're worth a king's fortune.
