actually, the live version of The Mess was originally released only as the B-side to the "My Love" single. I think it was included on one of the reissued Red Rose Speedway CDs, but it was not on the original album. and I don't think there was ever an officially released studio version, either. The Mess also shows up at the end of the James Paul McCartney tv special. it's one of my favorite Paul songs, too!!

Yeah, you're right. I was just going by what I saw on that link. The reissues were live versions. The single My Love/The Mess (which I have) is the only studio version, isn't it? Or is it live too?

Yes, the single b-side version is also live. I don't think there was ever a studio version released anywhere. Maybe it will show up when it's Red Rose Speedway's turn for a big box set reissue?

Hmmm... remarkably similar to what I'd pick, I think. Except I don't like Press, and not sure about The Other Me either.
