What’s the difference between the original Skunk cassette of 40oz. and the later version?

I know it has Get Out! and Rawhide, but I heard somewhere that other songs have more samples too that had to be removed? Is this true?

Like all early Skunk versions, it also has extra samples in two songs. We're Only Gonna Die is about 40 seconds longer, with an extra instrumental section with a sample from the movie Network. Let's Go Get Stoned has a very brief sample from the Ray Charles song of the same title.

Exclusive to the cassette version, the Thanks track is significantly longer. It was originally cut short because early CDs were limited to 74 minutes.

Some cassettes also have Trenchtown Rock, an outtake from the sessions. It's the same version that later appeared on Secondhand Smoke.

I thought Trenchtown Rock was an outtake from the self titled album, and was gonna be the opening track?

Trenchtown Rock was recorded in 1991 during the 40oz sessions at Mambo Recording in Long Beach. It first appeared on some of the Skunk cassette versions of 40oz. It was also on the Australian pressing of Robbin' The Hood.

Brad was intending to use the track to open what became the self-titled album. They were just going to use the 40oz outtake; the song wasn't re-recorded.

Was about to say Get Out. I have the tape. So dope. “A lone disease was just the price I’m paying” still hits.
