The "Great Songs" CD-R just has the album version made slightly louder. Oh well. Vinyl version it is!
EDIT: It's not made slightly louder – it's a low-quality MP3 which clips like crazy. Well, at least it's not an MP3 rendering of the clean version – I can't decide which would be worse!

Magic Pie off "Compilation Artist News Vol. 1" is a faded-in version of the album mastering; however, strangely, the volume is decreased several times as the song progresses. It drops roughly 1 dB right as the drums kick in, and a further 0.5 dB on the half-spoken "passin' by" at about 5:40. There is a slight EQ difference as well.
The cross-faded Turn Up The Sun on the album is 3:59, so I'm guessing (if the time listed is right) it's an early fade or abrupt cut-off. I'm also guessing the tracks would be lossy, since the NG instrumentals disc is. But these are the last two songs on DBTT that I don't have clean versions of.

"Strike!" has arrived. As we probably all expected, The Turning is simply a quickly-faded-in rendering of the album mastering (lowered in volume by 0.5 dB). I'm not too upset because I was able to make a clean version of both this song and the one that precedes it using the instrumentals. And if nothing else, super jewel boxes are hard to come by in the States, so it's nice to have another one.
Currently, I think there's only six Oasis songs that we can't get (or convincingly re-create) true, fully clean versions of:
Morning Glory – original fade-out uninterrupted by the helicopters and sound effects All Around The World (Reprise) – with its original fade-in A Quick Peep – the full-length ending, capped off with Andy's "That'll do me" (Probably) All In The Mind – clean beginning without Andy's comment, true ending with the extended bass note Mucky Fingers – true ending, uninterrupted by the excerpt of Those Swollen Hand Blues Keep The Dream Alive – clean beginning without the (barely audible, but present) final note of Part Of The Queue
