   Is the only difference between the LP version and 45 the very end where the crowd is a bit louder on the LP version than on the 45 version?  Or are there other differences?

	David, this song first appeared on the LP "Live At Leeds" and when transferred to compact disc where there is a timing index available, the track starts with :07 of audience noise which does not appear on the single. At the end of the song, the LP version has audience applause that tracks right into the next selection while the single fades the audience noise very quickly. The cd "Hooligans" fades the song faster than the actual 45 so that it almost sounds like a studio recording so technically the "Hooligans" version is not the precise 45 version. But the versions on "Then And Now" and "Ultimate Collection" handle the fade correctly.
