What's the difference here?  I hear a speed difference but is there something else?

The single mix is a bit louder, and the synth bass REALLY stands out.

How about Rock And Roll Music and Susie Cincinnati?  I'm comparing 15 Big Ones to Best Of The Brother Years and I can't hear the changes in the single versions.

The single mix of Rock and Roll Music hasn't been reissued for years; it's currently heavily damaged. Compilations since have used the album version. I recall from an original 1976 Brother/Reprise 45 that the single sounded a LOT brighter than the album version. There's also an unreleased "hot mix" with some extra instrumentation and the excised third verse.

Susie Cincinnati is...a bit hairier. There are five different mixes of this track - the original 1970 B-side for Add Some Music To Your Day, the promo mix with engine sound effects, the 1974 B-side for Child of Winter, and the 1976 A-side and album version.

I feel like I read that the mix of "Rock And Roll Music" on the Greatest Hits, Vol. 3: Best Of The Brother Years 1970-1986 was the single mix?

Yea, I just bought that CD.  The notes say it's an alternate version of the track from 15 Big Ones...Original Single Version.  They say the same thing for Susie Cincinnatti.

I've always liked the single version of It's OK and RARM way way better...

The vinyl Ten Years Of Harmony is the best way to hear the single mixes. That album sounds terrific period.

The It's O.K. single rocks pretty hard. I can see why it was a hit.

I don't care for the 45 of RARM. The album version sounds more like a hit. On the 45, it's like they sucked out all the wall of sound. It's just not as fun. I did hear the album version first, though. That's probably why I prefer it.

Is there any way to hear these versions on the net?

+1.

But be sure to source a US pressing - the Oz cut sounds a gen or 2 removed, imo
