Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but it seemed the most logical place. I was reading a column by the mightly Al Kooper, in which he praises The Flame's Beatlesque work:

In this piece, he makes an interesting point about the download version available on iTunes (and Amazon and elsewhere):
Quote
I downloaded the album from iTunes but their version contained COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MIXES and didn’t hold up to the LP version.
Does anyone know if this is true? Has anyone else compared them? I had assumed that the download would match the unofficial CD, i.e. a needledrop. On the one hand, it surprises me that there'd be two different mixes of such a niche product out there, but on the other hand I would expect someone with as much pop nous as Kooper to have his facts right. So can anyone help?
Also, I don't suppose that anyone's got any insight on whether or not a proper reissue of this record might be forthcoming at any point? I see it's been discussed here on numerous occasions in the past, but is there actually any momentum behind such an idea?
