Question regarding The Original Cowboy and singles

I'm finally starting to get into Against Me, I've seen them live a few times and loved it, though I didn't really get into the albums until just recently. Anyway, when I get into a band, I tend to get obsessive right away and figure out their entire discography. In doing such, I came across a question that I couldn't find the answer to. Are any of the versions of the songs on The Original Cowboy the same as the versions on the Cavalier Eternal and Sink, Florida, Sink singles?

The singles are different versions. The Original Cowboy are the demos from Eternal Cowboy.

The song Cavalier Eternal is the same on As The Eternal Cowboy and The Original Cowboy. From what I understand they liked the demo version better than what they recorded for the album.

Also, the version of Unsubstantiated Rumours on Original Cowboy is very similar to the version on the Sink, FL, Sink Single version.

Thanks for the responses! A quick related question, is the acoustic version of You Look Like I Need a Drink on the Cavalier Eternal single the same as the version on the Take Action Volume 4 comp?

Yes, it is... BUT, the acoustic version of "You Look Like I Need A Drink" on the Wrecktrospective compilation (2009 Fat Wreck Chords... www.fatwreck.com) is different.

Yes, that is a demo.

The Original Cowboy is the demo version of As the Eternal Cowboy. Cavalier Eternal is the same on both of them, but not on the Cavalier Eternal Single. Sink, FL, Sink isn't on The Original Cowboy. Unsubstained Rumors has 3 officially released versions. The Original Cowboy demo, ATEC acoustic, the Sink, FL, Sink electric version.

You Look Like I need a Drink also has 3 versions. The Fatwreck acoustic demo, the Cavalier demo and ATEC electric version.

Just before i get myself banned for insulting idiots, I'd like to say that I absolutely LOVE the acoustic version of You Look Like I Need a Drink. Damn, that song is awesome. Sometimes I think my perfect As The Eternal Cowboy would feature that instead of the electric version.. To keep the acoustic/electric songs ratio the same, I'd also replace the album version of Sink, Florida Sink with the electric version from the single. Love the woah-oh vocals on that, and the extra percussive parts are a real treat.
