I've always liked the version on the rave album 99' but, there was a post a few weeks ago about the original rave album from 89'.got me thinking maybe i've missed something?

I've only ever heard a live version from back then.
It didn't seem he had all the lyrics sorted out, yet.

I know in the remix for "Batdance" in 1989, he mixed the song with "Rave..."

the original is basically just longer. might be some slight differences in the mix as well, but the original is not the best quality, so who can say.

i thought it was the same recording....

It's the same recording.

There's a few minor differences in the mix, but essentially they sound
virtually the same.

The "Small Club" rendition of Rave takes a huge loose dump on the studio version.

lol a huge messy one

I don't know if at that time, that he had immediate ideas for this song
but it should have been released while the energy was and creative process was still high, maybe as a B side or something
