When AOR band Britton released the "Rock Harder" CD (which was basically the "Rock Hard" LP plus two extra tracks), there was a small but disappointing change. The track "Living On The Redline" was missing its intro - an acoustic verse which for once DID enhance the song, as it heightened the scream driven entrance of the song proper. I have no idea who decided to replace it with a (far less effective) phase-in. It wasn't as if anyone was going to think Britton was a soft rock group, after all! Nor was there any issue with time constraints.
So here is the full version from the vinyl. I think you will agree it was utter madness to amputate it.
