As a disclaimer I'm fairly new to EATB, I started listening to them about 3 years ago so my apologies for all of you connoisseurs if this is an obvious question if not at least anal retentive of me. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything relating to it.
I'm mainly wondering what version of Crocodiles is on Spotify. It is where I first listened to this album and have done so many times since so my ear is trained to how the tracks on Spotify sound. I recently purchased the album off Amazon, and there are many differences. The most obvious for me being Villiers Terrace. It is 3:12 long on Spotify while the amazon version I bought is 2:45. I've searched other releases of the song on Amazon and cannot find a track length the same as Spotify's version.
The main differences that I can tell is that the amazon version of VT I bought has some of the "Shake your money" repetitions at the end cut out, in fact the entire ending is a bit condensed. Also it is mixed completely different, the bass seems much more muted throughout and the guitar levels increased.
I even searched on Youtube and all of them matched the Amazon version. My only guess is the album on Spotify is actually a remastered version even though it doesn't say that it is, since I'm assuming the original would be what is on Amazon and what everyone and is posting on Youtube, But even if it is a remastered version that is on Spotify, I can't seem to locate it anywhere else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
