I was well aware of the US album The Grass Is Greener featuring over half an album of material which never saw the light of day in the UK, and it has been released on CD. However, I did not know that the debut US album of the same title was similarly very different.

Some of these songs had yet to appear in the UK and have different time lengths. The most startling thing here, though, is that 'Valentyne Sweet' (different spelling) ends with 'Beware The Ides Of March' instead of 'The Grass Is Always Greener'. And here's where the query comes in. Is the version of '...Ides Of March' different to the one which is on their UK debut? And indeed, is 'Valentyne Sweet' itself a different version to the one which came out as 'Valentyne Suite' in the UK?
This is like the speed differences in the US/UK versions of Rare Bird's debut I've read about on here...something which has entirely passed reissue companies by.
