    The new versions are, to all intents and purposes, exactly the same as the old versions, they're just more so, if that makes sense.

    It's like these songs have had their windows cleaned, a few crows' feet ironed out.

    This enjoyable act of historical revisionism highlights the still definitive source material. [Nov 2012, p.100]

    Mr. Blue Sky is the musical equivalent of George Lucas changing a few of the special effects in the Star Wars films and then re-issuing them (again).
