I decided to go for the 4CD version (from G&SMusic). I realise what it will cost to get the 2CD version if I decide I really must have those missing 20+ minutes and at the moment I'm not tempted. Mofo 2CD currently figures behind FZPTMOFZ in my "maybe get someday - if the price is right" list. I'm sure that if I'd got Mofo 2CD before the 4CD then I'd have regretted it. Maybe that helps.... Les.

Thanks to the Zappateers...here's what someone has to say... A job I've made for myself. Maybe somebody will find it usefull (or completely useless, as it is, but still worth). Correction/additions are very welcome! L indicates that the track is exclusive to the little MOFO B indicates that the track is available in both versions of MOFO (timing may slighty change between L & B MOFO but there is no content difference except where noted) The complete "original 1966 vinyl stereo mix" of Freak Out! Both on big and little MOFO (the two discs seems identical except for the art work: same picture but the big is on white, the little is on yellow, also the asterisk after the 1 is bigger on the little one) Mono Mix / Single edit - How Could I Be Such A Fool (2:13) L - Trouble Every Day (2:39) - Who Are The Brain Police (3:26) L note: while big MOFO booklet states that Trouble Every Day is the single edit, nothing is said about How Could I Be Such A Fool and Who Are The Brain Police in the little one: possibly the mono versions and the single edits where the same?
