Why Why Why

Maybe it was discussed, but Im asking. How could I recognize if my copy (I have two pieces) :) of Pink Rez is real promotional tool or bootleg?

If I understand you correctly... The darker pink is a bootleg. The salmon coloured is the real deal - It reads 'A Junior Promotional Tool' on the A-side label.

On a side note, I read in the IDEA mag that Why Why Why is a cover of Woodentops' 'Why Why Why'. Well, I didn't know that...

well thats certainly not true, as they are completely different tracks...and there are no credits on any released material for the Woodentops

as for bootlegs...

I have an mp3 of the Woodentops song and it's weird.

I agree that the Woodentops version is very different from Underworld's, though there might be some elements here and there (or maybe it's because I want them to be there :) ). 'Cover' is probably a wrong word - 'interpretation' may be better. Anyway, I uploaded (http://rapidshare.de/files/19127929/Woodentops.mp3.html) the song for those who haven't heard the Woodentops' Why Why Why.

Credits...yeah, you are right about that, but Why Why Why hasn't really been properly released (apart from the Japanese Dubno 2cd and various compilations). Not sure what the 'rules' say about credits, though...
I also read here (http://www.inmusic.co.nz/Artists/T-Son.htm) that some Benny Staples, who joined Woodentops and co-wrote Why Why Why, later worked with Underworld engineer Mike Nielsen. Coincidence maybe...

Finally, I thought the article in IDEA mag seemed well-written and well-informed, but what do I know... :)

Did the Woodentops ever release a proper version of Why Why Why? All I could find was a live version on Baleric Beats vol 1.

yes there was a doublepack 7" at least as i have it somewhere...that was the original version, and i think it was on the Woodentops album which i also had on cassette:

and its actaully on this album, both are just called 'why'...

i wonder 'why' they shortened it (or lengthened the name on some versions)?

anyway, looking at the tracklisting of this greatest hits i might have to buy it again, some classic trackss, Stop This Car, Everyday Living, Move me and Well Well Well...i'm gonna track it down again.

That explains it, I didn't know about the name change.
