I bought the Psycho Killer import 12 on eBay recently. Why does EVERYTHING ALWAYS SOUND BETTER ON 12"? I don't know and it doesn't matter. It's so weird holding a record like that in your hands bc I can't help but think how intensely Byrne and the rest of the band must have been micro-managing the design and wanting to be perceived a certain way, etc etc

As I've mentioned before, I'll always find it fascinating to hear alternate versions of songs that are so colossal it's impossible to imagine them any other way. As if to prove this point, there's a different version of Psycho Killer on the import 12, with different lyrics and some violins. Weird! Also I threw on the B-side "I Wish You Wouldn't Say That" just for the reason of why not.
