Update: Since its release on Tuesday, Apple has raised the price on this by $1, but the contents haven't changed. I don't know why.

Of course, I had to have this as soon as it came out. I haven't had much time to listen to it, but I burned it to CD (two of them - it's nine minutes too long to fit on one 700MB CD, grrr) and have been listening to it while I ran errands. Last night, I got to the new iTunes Original version of Be My Yoko Ono, a song I'm rather tired of hearing, but it's usually fun to hear a new recording of it. The lyrics include this passage:

I know that when I say this
I may be stepping on pins and needles.
But I don't like all these people
Slagging her for breaking up the Beatles.
(don't blame it on Yoki!)

However, in the iTunes Original version, after Steve Page sings "breaking up the Beatles" and before "don't blame it on Yoki," at about 2:08 in the song, Ed Robertson chimes in "like Jobs and Woz just went their [separate ways]." Steve sings over Ed after "just went," so I can't quite make out the very end of it, but Ed clearly says "like Jobs and Woz."

Adding lyrics to Be My Yoko Ono about the two founders of Apple separating, when one of them is the powerful and rumored to be temperamental CEO, during a recording session for Apple. That's why I love these guys. Highly recommended for all BNL fans and I'm barely a third into it.
