My God, cover c) is cheesy!

I have cover b), think it has 17 tracks on it. I believe I've had it for over four years, and have listened to it through all of once. One day, I might do it again!

These are the versions I've found (although I' not sure if there aren't any others).

Sometimes, i.e. like on Amazon, the shop titles are different although the tracklist and the cover is the same. So the shop titles don't sem to be exactly correct..

I'll post the (shop) title, cover and tracklist.

It seems that the version 7. contains all of the tracks which are scattered around the rest of the versions.

So, which of these (which cover and with which tracklist) was/were the original?

I have also only listened to the whole thing once, the only songs I ever listen to on it are Stringin' A Line and Talkin' In Your Sleep.

[Captain Walrus]

There are a ridiculous number of versions of that

And I was wrong, number 7. is the one I have, with all 20 tracks

this link to an outdated list of my stuff has a few versions I don't see here

http://homepage.mac.com/sambora/test...laudios.html#t

the US promo version I bought 2 copies of directly from Tony Bongiovi, it was a pressing of 50 copies sold directly to spur the lawsuit fom Jon that Tony eventually won, it came with a hand signed letter from Tony as well as three black and white 8x10 glossy promos of Jon from the pre-bon jovi days that Tony financed
A few years ago I sold the higher numbered copy to another collector for $250.00 US

It seems like version 4. and 9. have two sets of 10 different songs each, and version 7. is compilation of these both (20 songs altogether).
However, on 4. and 9. there is no Don't Keep Me Wondering, which appears on 7. So on 7. there should be 21 songs, but it looks like one version of More Than We Bargained For is left (it seems there are two versions of this song, one on 4. and edited version on 9.).

All the rest contain different tracklists of songs from 7..



Still, were all these CDs released by the same company? And which were the original ones?

I've actually listened to it quite a bit. Not recently, but I've probably listened to that more than (I think it may be safe to say this...) Crush.
