GOD (Instrumental) Available on Itunes France, Erotic City (Extended) too!

Is this the first time that the long version of GOD has been made available other than on vinyl???

They won't be remastered versions.

I seem to recall that these are basically the digital versions of the re-issued (Rhino?) 12" vinyls from a couple of years (maybe more) ago. They've been on iTunes for a while. I'm guessing the quality is no better or worse than anyone who has ever created mp3's of the extended mixes from their own 12" vinyls.
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

Love or Money (Single Edit) showed up in the U.S. iTunes store about a month ago. It's a pretty clean version but not a remaster.

I believe that they are only available through UK iTunes and other Euro iTunes stores. I don't know if a US resident can order them from these sites.

If not, there are of course, other means to acquire them via the web.

I think I heard that too. There was a French Warner Bros compilation CD called "Minneapolis Sound" or something like that that also sourced the 12" America from vinyl.

Yep. Rhino started a "Digital 45" program that included popular singles and their b-sides.
