It just occurred to me that now we got the Mike Howlett versions of "Mad World" and "Watch Me Bleed", we can actually compile an entire alternate version of the debut album! - The Hurting (BBC Session)
- Mad World (Howlett Version)
- Pale Shelter (Howlett Version - 7")
- Ideas As Opiates (B-Side or Peel Session)
- Memories Fade (Jensen Session)
- Suffer the Children (Peel Session or David Lord Version - 7")
- Watch Me Bleed (Howlett Version)
- Change (New Version)
- The Prisoner (B-Side or BBC Session)
- Start of the Breakdown (Jensen Session)
Of these, only Change was done after the advent of Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum, but it still fits in with the sound of those early attempts.

I’ll be compiling that as a playlist.
I thought Curt said once that Change (New Version) was actually an earlier version? Was it still done with Chris’s and Ross?

It's been interpreted like that, but what he actually meant is that it was a throwback to what they were doing prior to Mad World (i.e. those attempts with Mike Howlett). Roland was clearer: “I remember trying to convince everyone that we’d recorded Change at too fast a tempo. We had another crack at it, slower, but it lost something in the process”
