A few questions for the lucky folks who have already gotten their hands on the newest batch of reissues.
GET HAPPY:
*What are the live tracks? The various tracklistings that have circulated have been inconsistant on this matter.
*Is the version of "Temptation" on the bonus disc the early version of the song that fans called "Idle Hands" (I don't know if the title was ever "official")? And does the "Motel Matches" alternate feature the variant lyrics (in the 2nd verse, if I recall) that have been heard on some bootlegs?
TRUST:
*The ICE magazine article mentioned a version of "Hoover Factory" that hadn't previously been disclosed. Is it actually on the disc?
PUNCH THE CLOCK:
*How is "Baby Pictures"? Does it resemble the piano-arrangement that was played live a couple times?
Question for anyone with new reissues

Don't have the CDs to hand just now, and I haven't played them all yet (silent office I'm afraid), so I couldn't answer all your questions.
However, I can say that Baby Pictures is a full band uptempo studio version. It's nothing like the live EC&SN version from 82. A review likened it to Madness, and I'd agree. Don't like it, seems completely wrong, but interesting.

Re: Question for anyone with new reissues
The version of "Temptation" is not the "Idle Hands" version, and "Baby Pictures" is an odd, fast paced version. EC notes that it was supposed to be played as a ballad, but for some reason they recorded it in the style of old "music hall" songs, to the song's detriment. Too bad, because I liked the lo-fi live recording I once heard of it, but the studio recording is a curiosity at best.
