OK, here's a copy of my post from a couple of weeks ago - not as detailed as
Doug's, but a start:

1: Angels of Life lasts beyond the original fade-out by a few minutes. This
features more of Bob's WW1 obsession & is well worth hearing. Also, what was
The Dream 2 is now part of Satellite & we have an all-new synth piece listed
as The Dream 2. Nuclear Toy seems longer, but not sure about this.

2: Seems identical to the tape.

3: Also identical, despite the misleading track listing on the cover. Aside
from Damnation Alley occupying just one track rather than the two listed on
the cover (why?) - hence everything shifts back one track - what's credited
as Circles is actually Cake Out aka Hash Cake 77 & I Am The Eye is Circles &
Elements.

4: Again, identical to tape & definitely NOT the same as the Griffin CD.

5: Is the same as the version of Weird105 that I have (the reissue?) with
the addition of the US QS&C radio ad between Steppenwolf & Where Are They
Now. I've never heard the other version of the tape so can't help there.
Also, the second track is listed as City of Lagoons (as was the tape), but
this is Chronoglide
Skyway, surely? Can anyone clear up the confusion here?

6: Includes the full Greasy Truckers' Born To Go rather than the 5 min edit
of it. Omits Earth Calling from the track list on the cover, but it's on the
CD.

7: Hmm. Not sure what happened here. Is everyone else's version as screwed
up as mine? Track listing on the cover is as per tape, but the CD itself
starts with Choose Your Masques, continues with Looking in the Future twice
in succession (!!??) then onto the remaining tracks in order up to Bombed
Out, then back to the original opener (Streets of Fear) then through to
Winter of Discontent at the end. What happened here?

8: Where *is* 8??? Can ANYBODY please provide an answer to this - it's
really bugging me! And yes, I know many of the tracks from this are
available on CD elsewhere, but that didn't prevent Voiceprint from putting
out Weird6 and the missing 3 tracks are otherwise unavailable in any form.
