Trivia/Info
- This mix is identical to the version on Apollo 18, except for an 8 second instrumental breakdown (featuring sampled drumsticks and bass) near the end and a prominent echo on the vocals.
- According to Flansburgh, this mix was originally supposed to be the version of "The Guitar" found on Apollo 18, but it was edited down to the final album version after Elektra told the band they thought it was too long.[1]
