Very interesting. I remember downloading PYB from itunes before the album dropped, when it was attached to a single (i thought) and hoping that it was a better mix, and i remember that i was ultimately disappointed. listening to the preview on itunes now from the deluxe version though, it is definitely improved.
this is so very exciting! always wanted a better mix on this and behold it was right under my nose the entire time! (what a dope i am)
p.s. was pop your balloon ever released along with TMR or MSN at any point? i really feel like i'd downloaded the earlier mix before from itunes... Am I nuts or something?
p.s.s. oh yeah, these deluxe versions of the b-sides are no doubt remixed. sweeeeeet. damn, realizing that i had never even heard the non-edited version of PYB until right now. what a treat.
