What are the differences between the UK and US releases of His Name is Alives Mouth by Mouth?
Jeff Keibel compares: “When 4AD released Mouth By Mouth from His Name Is Alive in 1993, both 4AD UK and 4AD/Warner US put out the album, among other countries. What makes the 4AD UK version the preferred version is that The Homesick Waltz is included while the US version excludes it. As it was an unlisted track, and only alluded to in the UK booklet (on all three formats) in the lyrics pages, it means the back cover tracklistings are identical on both UK and US versions but that in order to get The Homesick Waltz, you must get the UK version. It represents a whole extra five minutes of playing time so it IS worth searching for. The UK vinyl has a totally unique sleeve. It’s worth finding just for the fact it differs from the CD cover so much.” Plus, the UK pressing might have a different version of the Dirt Eaters.
