Another of the nice surprises on the new 2023 Smash release is that we have as intro on each of the Blurays, two special instrumental edits of their first hits "West End girls" and "Opportunities". None of this tracks were ever released oficially as instrumentals, so this is the first time we can hear them this way, even when it´s in a short edited form. Specially interesting is the ending of West End girls, wich is a previously unheard ending..maybe the ending of the original version if the fade out were not applied at the end??
EDIT: as the user tech8622 mentioned, it seems that the ending on this "Smash" version of 'West End girls" was used on their performanve at the MTV Music Awards on 1986. Sadly that performance is not available on RU-vid at this moment for everyone to check, but I didi it with a (very bad quality) copy I have on my personal collection, and I agree that is the same ending!.
If you like the music, please buy Smash! ;)
