Straight Up

The album was remastered by Ron Furmanek at Abbey Road in March 1992 and released on CD in June 1993. As bonus tracks, this reissue included the original, Emerick-produced recordings of ”Name of the Game”, ”Suitcase”, ”Money”, ”Flying” and ”Perfection”. Record Collector contributor Andy Davis supplied a liner note essay for the release. Among the differences in musical arrangements between the bonus tracks and the 1971-issued versions, ”Name of the Game” features horns and orchestration not found on Harrison’s later production, and ”Money” and ”Flying” similarly have orchestral parts, arranged by George Martin. The lyrics of ”Suitcase” include the mention of ”pusher” that Harrison had asked Molland to change (in favour of the word ”butcher”), to ensure that the song received radio play. ”Perfection” features instrumentation such as synthesizer and harmonica, but not the percussion parts found on the Rundgren-produced version. The final bonus track on the 1993 reissue was the US single mix of ”Baby Blue”, the main difference being the addition of extra reverberation on Gibbins’ snare drum.
