I was in Target the other day and heard "Mr. Blue Sky" come on, and it was almost immediately apparent that it must have been the re-recorded version (which I had never heard before). At the least what they played sounded faster and lacked the coda. A box store edit, perhaps? Or maybe it was the remarkably faithful/lazy Weezer version?

He re-recorded a bunch of stuff in 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Blue_Sky:_The_Very_Best_of_Electric_Light_Orchestra ostensibly as he thought it sounded better, but suspicion was that it was because he got all the publishing etc from it.

In much the same way Squeeze re-recorded their songs and Taylor Swift is going to next year.
