The songs on the different versions are the same, revised has different source tracks ( different takes ) than the original version. Original and Revised versions are available in all box types. If you buy a bulk version from either of the versions, and another one as De Luxe version, you get all available audio and video material for Loud. Differences between original and revised version ( just like it is with the explicit versions ) are very small.
