I ask because I know some were worked on as early as 1995, but then weren't actually released for years. I can't quite tell when listening. I would figure things such as She Smiled Sweetly would be recorded more recently since he didn't sound the same in 2011 as he did in 1995, but can't tell on all of them.

good question! i know there are several fans who just occasionally visit here who know this much better than me... but yeah She Smiled Sweetly was completely re-recorded. i think all other ones he put out (other than I Am Waiting) he reworked some parts but the main recording / instruments / vocals stayed from the original.

it would be nice if someone who actually knows exactly would post here and let us know.
