Hi there,

pretty sure this hasn't been posted before, but both amazon Germany and UK have listed a re-release of Hey Stoopid for September 23 (UK) and September 26 (Germany). It appears it's the regular album with three bonus tracks:

Hey Stoopid (beba edit)
Fire
It rained all night

It's listed on Amazon US as an import releasing October 1, 2013 (no details about the contents there, though).

1st: Fire wasn't supposed to be from "Trash" b-sides ?
2nd: Finally! It Rained All Night!
3rd: What the hell is Hey Stoopid (Beba edit) PLEASE someone explain this to me

Well, I picked up the "Freedom For Frankenstein" best of years ago because it compiled quite a few limited and unreleased songs on it. It Rained All Night made it worth it. Fire is good but I would hope that they record a new version with Orianthi. The vid of Da Coop guesting at the 100 Club is awesome! HS (Beba Edit) needs some exploring.

A_Michael_UK or whatever was your name, Why you're not here when needed! xD

Just Joking, but if you read this post, I Hope you can light us the way to the truth!

HS (Beba Edit) could be the single edit version?
Just a guess as I seem to recall the single was supposed to be slightly different to the album version.

If you Google "Hey Stoopid Beba Edit" you can find several references to it including the US and UK CD singles.

If anyone has that, they could tell us the difference.

It's supposedly 3:56 in length. The version on Life and Crimes is missing the long intro and is 4:15, while the album version is 4:34.

I'm guessing the difference is that it's SHORTER

I've got the Beba edit, there's no notable differences so not worth getting excited about it.

LOL Si!

>1st: Fire wasn't supposed to be from "Trash" b-sides ?

No.

>HS (Beba Edit) could be the single edit version?

Yes.

>I've got the Beba edit, there's no notable differences

Actually there is one - the single is missing the introduction that the album version begins with.

>so not worth getting excited about it.

That is true.

I got excited when I saw the 'Extended' bit as I was hoping the elusive If 4th Street Could Talk and Chemical Reaction might be included!

I don't think they are particularly great songs.

I've only heard one, which I quite like.

The Beba edit must be missing something else if those running times are correct.

The single version is on the Life & Crimes boxset (or at least it's attributed that way).

This edit seems like something additional that was on the CD Maxi Single originally.

Like a sad case, I've just played the album (4:34) and Beba versions (3:56) side-by-side.

No obvious differences at all other than:

The intro (missing the 19 second opening); and
Ends about 20 seconds earlier (still with Alice saying "Hey Stoopid").

Well that is a difference that you did not specifically mention earlier.

Which is why I checked!
