Alan Parker, Gerald Scarf, and Roger Walters. One of life's lesser important mysteries for me has always been, how come we get the short version that then runs into 'Dirty Women' on the album, but in the film we get the longer version with the great lyrics, shall I buy a new guitar, shall we get a more powerful car, do tours of the east, contract disease, go to shrinks, keep people as pets, fill the attic with cash, but never relax at all, with our back to the wall. I don't like the initial echo voice on the film version, but the rest of it is fantastic. Oh well never mind. Two versions is fine, just a mystery is all, and I would have prefered it make the album and something else dropped. I've got the album on tape. Someone recorded it and went to the trouble of gluing a sticker on it, and printing out the cassette sleeve. Either that or they bought it in the far east as a knock off. Which is probably more likely. It's got 5minutes of part of 'a delicate sound of thunder' on the end of side 1, rather than have 5 minutes of blank tape. I bought it at a boot sale or somewhere, and funnily enough on the day I saw the album on sale at a cash converter type place for 20 hurooes (Last friday) I spotted the cassette in a cassette box i've not pulled out for a couple of years. https://youtu.be/CLpR0oBOKWQ?si=FIOUEtl5_e_LjDG8 [I'm going through huge knee issues so posting limited due to going through huge knee issues effecting my posting. Not being able to make omlettes without breaking eggs still my modus operandi to knee health, but it's a long road to hoe on a hunch]
