I don't know for sure, but the "Everybody Knows" on "I'm Your Man"
sound to me like the version used in the movie. I'm still waiting
for my copy of "Various Positions" to arrive so I can't even guess
about "If It Be Thy Will".

i don't know for certain, but they sounded to me like the
album versions. i won't give any spoilers here, but i
highly recommend the movie.
(though i *am* mad at the philistine bastards who cut the
songs from the soundtrack).


ps. i went out and rented _McCabe and Mrs. Miller_ after i saw
   PUtV, and got the impression that he had re-recorded those
   songs...anybody know for sure?

Do you know if the songs are the album versions, or did Cohen
re-record them for the movie?

Not about "Pump..."


If we don't find a European correspondent who will help
find CDs, there's a firm in Oregon that I've dealt with
that is pretty good (don't look for discounts, though):

I bought a double CD with New Skin as one of the two
through this firm.
