The 2023 Deluxe Edition addresses these truncations by restoring the full-length album versions of key tracks. This decision shifts the narrative of the record from a mere radio sampler to a retrospective artistic statement. Furthermore, the Deluxe Edition expands the running order to include deeper cuts and live staples that were omitted from the original vinyl pressing due to time constraints.
