Hi all, let me ask you pls... On So Deluxe walk thorugh they say, that the vinyl track listing will be different unlike original (as the artisti intended). Do you see on your vinyl any difference to the original version at all? I dont...

The original vinyl (and the running order on the CD) had In Your Eyes at the start of side 2 (or track 5 on CD). After years of listening to the original I still expect to hear In Your Eyes after That Voice Again. PG changed the running order to put In Your Eyes as the last track when it was first reissued in 2002. Oh, and the vinyl ended with We Do What We're Told (This Is the Picture was only on the CD and cassette). It works better in the new running order I think. If you dig around this site you'll find PG explaining why.

Am I the only one who thinks that "We Do What We're Told" works best as the last track?

Agreed. It finishes the album with a strong yet atmospheric challenge and mystery that is not present in the other So tracks. I would never think of putting IYE at the end. In fact I'm so sick of IYE I never want to hear it again. Before I got sick of it, IYE was a great track to start the second side.

"In Your Eyes" was played far too much in concert. I'm also tired to listen to this song today.

I second that. It has been flogged to death in concert, and with too many apparently random guests who rarely add something to the mix - I mean, Spaccanapoli? Seriously? Come on...

I entirely agree. It feels like going through the motions. I would love for it to be dropped. It's also far too long live. The space would be best served with a couple of songs, maybe even a rotating acoustic treat, something rarer.

here here! said it on a few occations now,IYE and salisbury,I just feel like"right lets hurry up and get this out of the way"

But they are some of his most popular songs - and he evidently has seventy million good reasons to play them.
