I was recently reading about The Stone Roses 'Second Coming' and I remembered all the 

cassettes that floated around before the albums release. It's an album I admittedly

haven't listened to in years, but these (and future) alternate versions offer an 

interesting listen for a fan.

After nearly two years of stopping and starting and very little recording, producer

John Leckie quit. Engineer Paul Schroeder became the new producer (he too would later 

quit) and assembled these mixes of the tracks they had. Generally rougher, these 

mixes were made for the tons of overdubs John Squire would apply over the coming 

months.

I prefer several of these versions to the album proper.
