I just picked up the vinyl version today, and what a surprise.

The songs are resequenced. This makes listening to the whole album again quite different.

When you've heard a record many many times, as you know, your brain kind of expects the songs to come in a certain order.

The CD version of Mellon Collie starts with an instrumental piano track, then it jumps on to Tonight Tonight, .. so far so good.

After Tonight however, instead of the full assault of Jellybelly, the vinyl has 33 instead. What a change.

The whole first side, in fact, comprised of Mellon Collie, Tonight, Thirty-three, In the arms of Sleep (my favorite song) and Take me Down, is really mellow, as opposed to the first disc in the CD version which jumps around quite a bit.

I haven't finished listening to the vinyl version yet, but so far I find it a lot more like Adore in its 'emotional profile', if there's such a thing.
