===Undone - The Sweater Song radio edits, June(?) 1994=== | |||
[[Geffen Records]] wanted to release a single edit of "Undone - The Sweater Song" for radio stations,<ref>[[Collectors Discography - Page 1]]</ref> so Rivers Cuomo asked for an edit to be made with the opening shortened and a short fade-out after the last "ooo". An edit with these changes, along with a shortened solo, was sent to the band to review. Cuomo approved the edit without noticing the shortened solo, as he had fast forwarded to hear the fade-out. After receiving promo copies a week later, they discovered the solo edit and demanded a new one be made without it.<ref name="WeeziI3">[[Weezine Issue 3 - Summer 1995]]</ref> | |||
Somewhere between 750 and 2000 copies exist of the initial radio single, and are more common than the intended edit.<ref name="WeeziI3" /> | |||

{{Karlification box|Geffen wanted the song shorter, and after much debate Rivers asked for an edit (to review and approve) that had the opening bars shortened and the end madness quickly faded after the last "ooo". When the requested edit was received and we popped it in and heard the shortened beginning. Perfect. Rivers hit "FF" to a spot near the end. We heard the end with a quick fade out. Perfect. Rivers calls Geffen: "That's fine, go for it." What we didn't know, was that in the middle of the song, there was another edit that shortened the solo part, making it sound, well, short. Geffen figured, "well of course they'll listen to the whole thing, and they'll hear the 'suggested' edit in the middle and comment on it, right?" Yeah, well, anyway a week or two later we get a couple CD copies in the mail and pop it in the CD player: "What?!!what was that?" you can imagine the distress and confusion. Anyhow there are somewhere between 750-2000 of these things, most of them probably at radio stations. They say "edit 3:58" on them, and they are all wrong A second edition, corrected and listed as "4:10" was made but by that point not many were needed. Most stations were happy with the 'wrong' one or the full CD version. Everyone was overjoyed that they were playing it at all so the issue was dropped. I would say that for every correct "4:10"" version there are at least five incorrect "3:58"'s.|[[Weezine Issue 3 - Summer 1995]]}} | |||
