Like most of my Ebay items&#8230;shelf it went. I might have listened it once, but thanks to &#8220;clean version&#8221; of Kitty, I never really <strong>listened<\/strong> to it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Until recently.<\/p>\n<p>To my big surprise, the original version is much much better fidelity wise. Fidelity isn&#8217;t the only difference. Original version features a picture of the PUSA with Bill Clinton. Extented version of Feather Pluckn, sligthly different version of We&#8217;re Not Gonna Make It, and dozens of other small things that is not on Columbia version&#8230;When you have listened the Columbia version for hundreds of times, those small things really makes you grinning, and pointing &#8220;That wasn&#8217;t there!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is the original still for sale? I don&#8217;t know, but this is what i came up with Google: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eggstudios.net\/popllama.htm#pusa\">Egg Studios Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why the original version got (re)mixed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>zeke:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Can you tell me why the PUSA &#8211; S\/T was so poorly mixed on Sony\/Columbia version, when the original Popllama release (with Bill Clinton photo) is so much better. Did they want to give it more punk\/grunge sound? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #800000;\">Funny\u2026Conrad Uno, who co-produced and mixed the first version, would love to hear you say that. He said he cried the first time he heard the remixed Columbia version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I haven\u2019t listened to them side-by-side in over ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">We (meaning the band) wanted to remix the album. We didn\u2019t think it sounded punchy enough. Columbia was ready to put it out exactly as it had come out on PopLlama release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Chris and I heard \u201cLump\u201d from the original version played on the radio in the spring of 1995. We thought it sounded muddy. So we remixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Taken from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicstillmatters.com\/music\/102\">Music Still Matters &#8211; Stop The Reissues<\/a> blog&nbsp; comments<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div><div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/pusabase.com\/wordpress\/2009\/05\/24\/st-popllama-vs-columbia\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"like\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidents Of The United States Of America (PUSA) &#8211; Self Titled &#8211; Original Popllama version with Bill Clinton sleeve.
