Does a non live version of "I believe in Father Christmas" exist? I found this Youtube clip that has what sounds like a non live version of the song?

It must do, I remember thinking the same thing when I heard a (different) clip of it on the Hits DVD.
I don't think it's 'escaped' tho'. I'd love to hear it.

It's just the live (soundboard?) tape isn't it?

I don't think so, it sounds double tracked to me.

That sounds to me like a bit of echo from the live recording.

Second Sturdy on that one...doesn't sound like a studio recording at all to me.

Maybe...I don't think my PC speakers are much to make an accurate judgement from!

Anyone got the soundboard version? All I have is the barely-listenable audience recording!

There's only one recording that I'm aware of. I've seen contradicting things as to whether it's an audience or soundboard recording. Haven't listened to my copy for years though It's a bit quiet and hissy from memory, but with a good quality recording somewhere underneath it all.

The only copy I have, and the only copy I thought existed is the live recording from the Powerhaus show in 1992. And the instrumentation sounds different as well.

It's been in the BarItala2005 account since the heady far-off days of January 2006. To my ears it's the same version - just a bit more muffled thanks to multiple tape copies.
