"No Time" - The Guess Who

Bill Cahill wrote: Agreed, there are two "album versions", only the Canned Wheat CD has the original non-hit version. They've issued the American Woman LP version (hit version) everywhere else. Might make an interesting string on it's own, songs re-recorded to be hits like: Help Me Rhonda Sweet Mary (Wadsworth Mansion) Dead Man's Curve Thinking Of You (Loggins and Messina) Etc..

Or in reverse, rerecorded as the later, radio hit
(a la album versions being the hit) or variations
on that situation--

Just from late 1968 alone:
"Both Sides Now"-Judy Collins (original hit cmae a
year before it eve WAS a hit, in 1967's
"Wildflowers", more familiar-now version is the
rerecorded one on 1972's "Colors of the Day")

"Crimson and Clover"-Tommy James/Shondells
(original version that, unaltered, wound up a hit
was followed in 1969 by the current version, the
spliced-in one..I've read that the same year's
Blood Sweat & Tears "Spinning Wheel" as an LP and
later CD track had that longer jazzy part spliced
in but was still the original one, while the
shorter single was still edited and faded as wel;;_

"Touch Me" by the Doors--redone with the more
musical dubs and the "Stronger than dirt"
commerical tagline dubbed on the end..

Another rerecorded for single release hit was "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by Bette Midler (1973).
