this isn't just a single, it's a five song EP. 1. Change (LP Version) 2. Changed 3. No Rain (Ripped Away Version) 4. Candy Says (Country Jellyfish Version of Lou Reed composition) 5. Paper Scratcher (Acoustic). Now this is only five songs, but three of them aren't available anywhere else, well except for No Rain. I guess two of them are previously unavailable, and the Stripped Version of No Rain is on the best of collection that came out not to long ago. I almost bought the Best Of just becaue this version of No Rain is so superior to the original (acording to the band, not just myself) and the "way that they[we] intended the song to be heard..." That alone is worth the three measly bucks most drop shippers want for this OOP jem, so hurry up and grab this jewel before everyone else catches on. There aren't any box sets or good collections for these guys and a lot of this stuff has been out of print for almost ten years, and it's becoming more and more scarse; BUY THIS NOW IF YOU LIKE BLIND MELON!

I'd been a Blind Melon fan for years without knowing this single existed. But I'm glad I found it. The CD contains 1) Change, 2) Changed, 3) No Rain [Ripped Away Version], 4) Candy Says [Country Jellyfish Version] and 5) Paper Scratcher [Acoustic]. Changed is essentially a different version of Change with alternate lyrics which runs the same length, whereas Candy Says is a cover of a Velvet Underground song about a transvestite. The Ripped Away Version of No Rain contained here is also different and shorter than the Ripped Away Version found on Nico. As far as I know, these songs can't be found anywhere else and, thus, make the single a good buy for any fan or collector. This same Acoustic version of Paper Scratcher, however, can be found on the 4-song Deep Cuts digital download here on Amazon.
