Single versions not available on CD?
Permalink  
 


Why are the single versions of Rat Trap, Like Clockwork and Do The Rat to name but 3, not available on CD?

Like Clockwork is a simple edit, so is easy to recreate from the album track, but Rat Trap has rerecorded lines that were on the single.

 

Somehow, every CD version I could find of Rat Trap is the same, album version.

How can it be that a chart-topping 7" single is a rarity in the CD age?

 

Why didn't they include them on the reissues?

Any ideas?

Maybe the masters didn't have them when they remastered.

You can get the single version of Mondays on CD, I got it on an Old Gold compilation. It is possible other original single mixes can be found that way.

Shame they don't just do a singles CD as a re-release, but then again they'd have Charmed Lives on it....
