Hi, I'm looking for examples of artists who re-recorded their old songs for new albums / singles, etc.

And which version you think is better

first one that comes to mind is "no cars go" by arcade fire.. the Neon Bible one is probably better cause of the better production and nice horns and stuff

For instance, Green Day originally recorded "Welcome to Paradise" for their second album Kerplunk



The original version feels like it has a lot of pent-up energy, and the vocal harmonies are a bit more prominent. It's also faster and considerably sloppier and less polished than the more famous Dookie version. You can really hear the difference in the guitar tone and the snare sound.

Not a lot of people know that Whitesnake's huge 1987 hit "Here I Go Again" is actually a re-recording of the original tune from 1982



The new version is considerably brighter and poppier. And the chorus has slightly different lyrics:

Quote:
The original version features the line "Like a hobo I was born to walk alone." In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "drifter" but as that was already used in different songs he chose instead "hobo", however the latter was changed again to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that it would not be misheard as "homo".




After scoring a huge hit with this re-recording, Whitesnake attempted to do it again, re-recording their 1980 song "Fool For Your Loving" for their 1989 album Slip of the Tongue to considerably less success

Bill Callahan re-recorded "Let's Move to the Country." I like the original better.

Elliott Smith re-did his old Miss Misery for the Good Will Hunting soundtrack, apparently. Though the first one was only released posthumously I think.

That's almost like a demo though. I meant re-recording a previously fully produced and commercially released song

Will Oldham has done this with like half of his catalogue. One song that sticks out is "I See A Darkness." The original is almost dirge-like, and if you're not already in a bummer mood, it can put you in one. The re-recording is best described as jaunty, I think, even with the same lyrics. Which one I prefer depends on my mood.

And it was still left out of the tournament.
