Notes: - An abundance of hiss
- Same backing track
- EQ'd to boost treble
- The intro seems to be cut as well as the ending.
- Alternate Vocal Takes
- Siren sound during guitar solo
- Drums and bass are barely audible
- A lot of random noise and rumbles
- Weird noises at the end.

Wow. Where did you grab this from? Nice find! Found it in the multitrack! I heard something on Track 18 and I added a 50Db compressor, did some EQing, and it turned out to be an alternate take. |

Thank you for this. However, at first it doesn't seem that different to the easily obtainable alternate mixes from the multitrack indeed. The alternate vocal takes were present in both that and a couple versions that had leaked prior to the actual multitrack becoming available.
Please excuse me if I'm wrong, it's just that the differences don't seem to be there compared to what we already had.

What a discovery, the truth is that I like that version much more than the album version. Could it be that they used those tracks to make the BBC version? It sounds pretty similar. Stone Cold Crazy (BBC Session)
PS: Until recently in Amazon Music Unlimited the versions were wrong and both 'Stone Cold Crazy' and 'Now I'm Here' appeared as an ULTRA HD version but being the BBC version. Now it seems that this has been corrected. |

Isn't the vocal track exactly the same as track 19 from the multitrack? I found this in the extra drum track 18: gofile.io/d/RK5eLCAnd to make a version that sounds like yours, here is the alternate take: gofile.io/d/WkzrkV |

Hmm seems so, I think I just got a bit excited, but I think the only major difference is the abrupt siren some point in the middle. Anyway, my apologies to anyone who was expecting something majorly different.

That's okay, no need to apologize. It is always good to dive deep into the multitracks to find a hidden gem, so just keep on doing it :-D
