I remember when Lost Dogs came out a quote from Stone saying he liked one version of Strangest Tribe better than the other. I haven't compared them though so who knows.
He comments in the liner notes that he prefers the song on a CD rather than a 45, could that be what you're remembering?

Yep, that's what I'm thinking of. Are they actually any different though? I don't think it was rerecorded, but was it remastered or anything?

They're different. The 1999 45 version is a little faster. I aligned them in a multitrack session with one panned to the left and the other to the right, and aligned them so the opening lyrics start at the exact same time and they gradually drift out of alignment.

Same performance though, it sounds like. Could this be due to a difference in tape speeds and whatnot?
Maybe, but if they came from the same performance they'd have the same master recording, right? Would the discrepancy then come from an analog transfer for one and then a different transfer for the other?

Or maybe one was Protooled for tempo correction and the other one wasn't. The performances appear to be identical.
I agree with you. The only difference is with the mastering (which might seem more different than it is because the original one is a vinyl transfer) and the speed.
