What God Wants, Part I - Maxi CD Single - Roger Waters - Austria 1992

This CD single was made in Austria and includes 3 songs from Roger Waters 1992 album 'Amused To Death'. 2 versions of What God Wants, Part I, and 1 version of What God Wants, Part III. Why Maxi single? You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxi_single .

The front cover has the same photo as the 7 inch single - A monkey standing on a television. On top is Roger's name, and on bottom there is the single's name. It also has a white bar on the left side that says: MAXI CD SINGLE. The insert inside has the track list and credits together with a small photo of the front cover of the album (which is different from the single's cover).

Track list:
(1) What God Wants, Part I (Video Version) (4:50)
(2) What God Wants, Part I (LP Version) (5:51)
(3) What God Wants, Part III

I think the main difference, or maybe the only difference, between the 2 versions of 'What God Wants Part I', is the intro which is much longer on the LP version. It has the women repeating the words: "What God wants, God gets, God help us all".

What God Wants, Part I (Video Edit \ Album Version) - 7" Single - Holland

'What God Wants, Part I' is a song taken from Roger Waters' album 'Amused To Death', released in 1992. The song is the first part of 3 songs that have the same title (Parts 1 to 3), but the only one to be released as a single. This part in particular deals with the contradictory, duality and hypocrisy perceived by Waters in dogmatic religion and its power over man. This release was made in Holland and has the song on both sides: Side A is the video edit and side B is the album version. Front cover has a photo of a Gorilla standing on a TV with the title and Waters' name. Back cover has a photo of another monkey watching the TV and credits for the songs.





Label: Red Columbia label with a small spindle hole. Other issues with the catalog number 658139 0, comes with a large spindle hole.
Year: 1992
Country: Holland
