[mod.music.gaffa] Thomas Dolby revisited

Organization:


I have it from a reliable source that there is more than one version of
"The Golden Age of Wireless."   The common version has a mock magazine cover
on the front with a cartoon of TD surrounded by tubes and wires and all sorts
of great technogeek stuff.  The "other" version features a simple picture of
TD with a wire running through his head.

The "other" version of TGAW has different mixes of some songs and some totally
new stuff (new=preveously unheard by me).  

To the previous respondees of my Dolby questions, WHERE CAN I GET THIS ALBUM?
I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!  I'LL PAY ANY AMOUNT, OR DO ANYTHING (!) TO GET IT!

I have no idea if it's an import or where it's from.  I suppose I should
check with Tower Records, but they never have anything interesting.

Ah, the fun I had while in college radio.  I know for a fact that
there are two version.  We got the album when it first premiered in 
its' original format.  Offhand, I think that the original album 
had 'Leipzig' as the only song not included on the second album.  The
album was re-mixed when 'She Blinded Me With Science' came out.  The
original songs were discofied to make them sound less ethereal.  I
couldn't figure out why they left off 'Leipzig' as it was one of the
more uptempo songs on the original.

As far as getting it, I found the original album on tape in the
throwaway cabinet at "Cheap Thrills", a local record store.  You'll
just have to keep your eyes open when you search through the bins,
though.  I almost didn't catch this one...
