i have probably (no, i'm sure) the VM013 version of 1993, as i also have the VM cataloge of october 1993 in it .... the front print of the CD is the same as the photo in the 1989 version. so i am still looking for someone who has the 18 / 25 min version to offer ... as a collector, i do like to have both versions ...

To make things complicated, today I received this CD in my mailbox. I have the same CD as shown in the photo above ... so i expected the 18min / 25min version. To my surprise my CD player shows the 23:38 min / 23:03 min version.

There are two versions of this CD, both issued by Vinyl Magic, and both carrying the same catalog number! The first version issued by Vinyl Magic in 1989 has a 43:42 minutes length and is presumably taken from the original masters.In 1993 Vinyl Magic quietly and without notice reissued the CD, that is different from the original 1971 LP. The total length of the album is 44:11The result is that two significantly different CDs exist.What are their differences?Well, to begin with, the "correct" 1989 version is 29 seconds shorter (clocks in at 43:42).While the same musical themes appear in both versions, they do not appear in the same order, nor in the same arrangements.The 1993 version was a demo, cut first, perhaps to sell the album to the record company (originally RiFi, owned by Dischi Ricordi), probably coming from a demo tape that apparently even saw a cassette-only release before the actual LP came out. Its arrangements are sparer, but not without depth, color and complexity.The total length of the 1993 version is 44:11 minutes, and opposed to the original vinyl, this sounds less rich and orchestrated, more acoustic, but in some places more intense, the texts of the first part are slightly different from the original version (with more space to the spoken parts) and lacks the long instrumental introduction (e.g. the instrumental overture "Largo iniziale") and has sparser arrangements, with less Mellotron and studio effects (e.g. none of the weird English rant on "Plim plim" or the whispering interlude on "Allegro per niente") even the voices are alternate differently, both in singing and storytelling. Some of the solos are different as well, as is the order in which the themes are presented, and there even seems to be a few verses and bits of music that are not present on the 1989 version .Oddly enough, the 1993 version has a mastering or manufacturing defect of its own: there is a two-second drop-out (2 seconds of silence) which occurs in the first track.How can you tell these two versions apart?Not easily. In the record store, dealing with a sealed CD, there are only two subtle clues, both to be found on the back of the box. The "back cover" of the jewel box shows a reproduction of the back of the original LP cover, all reduced to tiny print. On the far right side there is a vertical black stripe, within which is printed Vinyl Magic's address, telephone number, and fax number. Just to the left of this stripe, the 1993 version has the following tiny line of type, running sideways, parallel to the stripe: "Su Licenza PEER SOUND." (There may also be, to the left of this line of type, an Italian tax stamp -- a red-inked, round stamp the largest letters in which are SIAE -- which is not on the 1989 version, but this after-the-fact stamp may not appear consistently on all 1993 copies.) There is no equivilent line of type on the 1989 edition. The second clue is to be found in the telephone number printed in the black stripe: it had changed between 1989 and 1993, and the new number printed on the 1993 edition is in a somewhat different typeface than the rest of that line of type. If you are checking an open CD to determine which is which, it's much easier: The 1989 version has no color printed on the CD. The 1993 version has a wide red horizontal stripe across the middle of the CD itself. Otherwise the labels are identical (only the credit, "Made in Italy by Phonocomp," is missing from the 1989 label). The jewel-box inserts are themselves identical, but the 1989 edition has an added, folded, insert: an approximately 7 x 9 "poster" showing a grainy photo of a man with two children, and these lines (in English, oddly): "I was in Sicily in 1936. Sun and sea as in California. Wonderful!" at the top, and, at the bottom, "No one washes his teeth, just someone drink milk: terrible!" This relates somehow to the topic of the album. This separate insert is missing from the 1993 edition, which has instead (stapled into the single-fold sheet that replicates the original LP fold-out cover) and Vinyl Magic's mail-order catalog.
