From Mimmo:

No, the full version on the acetate is 3'30" circa, there is a long outro with a guitar solo at the end, after the chorus.

So, we have 3 versions of the demo (full version and two edited versions):

#1 2:40 from Ridding High OST
#2 2:58 version with "One, Two" at the beginning, more guitar before Mark stars singing and longer chorus fade out ending.
#3 3:36 full version with guitar solo at the end.


#1 and #2 are mono sound, #3 STEREO (thanks dr)

Solid Rock is 3'36" .
The acetate is STEREO"

I have two questions  ;)

* What is the "acetate" ?
* Where can we listen to this full version of SR ?

Thaaaank Yououou....

I tweaked a little the sound to get pseudo-stereo sensation
