I like the 12" version of Machines, but I can't help but think Brian rather over-egged the pudding by including that pointless sample of Ogre Battle.

My favorite have to be Staying Power and Scandal. I would have said I Want to Break Free if the single version didn't exist.
Does anyone else think that The Works album was a bit rushed? It seems to me, considering the improvement of the single versions for songs like Hammer to Fall and Break Free. I can almost imagine Brian saying "You know what? I fucked up that solo. Let me try again." (Hammer to fall).

Ultimately 12" versions had to have something to justify the extra expense. I still have no idea why they ever existed at all..... Great for collectors but no real purpose!? [/QUOTE]
Bcause of the extra space for the grooves the sound was louder and punchier. Probably why they were favoured by DJs.
Also in the 80's a lot of 12" singles were released for just that reason. There were 12" versions of AOBTD and CLTCL that were the same as the album versions.

They were sold to the public as a money making exercise, nothing else.

No it doesn't. Off the top of my head, I think it lacks the extended mixes for:
Back Chat *
Staying Power *
Keep Passing The Open Windows *
One Vision (Available on the US 1991 Hollywood Records AKOM CD)
Friends Will Be Friends *
Scandal (Available on the US 1991 Hollywood Records "The Miracle" CD)
* To date, never officially released on CD anywhere, still vinyl exclusive to this day

yes inu-liger, this is the extendeds not included in the box of trix, and the extended of friends will be friends, is the friends will be friends will be friends, but counteins little difference

Well everything the music industry does is a money making exercise. However, I certainly bought some 12" singles because the sound was so much better. Especially dance tracks that were bass heavy.
AOBTD was amazing on 12". The bass just thumped out.
