Stallion Duck, have you checked Per's link? I think (and he too I guess) that you don't have Balls to Picasso.
You have Alive in Studio A (which was the official title in my memory -> the Marquee disc is a bonus, and I don't think it was part of the title, at least, not when it came out in 1995).

See here as well:

edit: sorry, I read too quickly and missed your reply on Per's post
 
The way I understood it, he got a reissue of the album which contains a bonus disk, but instead of the regular one which (I assume) we all have, he got Alive at the Marquee there. I do think Mosh is able to tell the difference between the studio album, Balls to Picasso, and Alive at Studio A.

Strange, Alive at the Marquee was usually paired up with Scream for me Brazil in the reissues.

But I still don't get this. Was this 2nd disc separated from the Studio A disc, in a later release?
 
Not to my knowledge. But to be honest, I don't know everything about every single release.
 
I think it's quite possible that this is some sort of bootleg release. I remember that at least Alive in Studio A/At the Marquee was very rare before the reissue, and a record dealer once expected me to hand over 40 Euros for a copy.
 
If It helps these are pics of the jewel case and both discs. The case looks identical to my other copy of Balls but the text on the back looks different and obviously it holds 2 discs. The liner notes are the same too.

I am not sure how the back of the package looks like, but I can deduce the following:

The booklet is real, the CDs are real, but the combination is not correct. Also the packinging looks kinda fake (white inlay). This might be done to reveal the illogical combination of the discs.

I don't think BTP was ever officially paired with Alive at studo A (of which Alive at the Marquee is a 2nd disc), so someone has changed some incomplete releases, fabriqued it into a non-existing combo, in order to make money.

What did you exactly order? An old BTP release, or the remaster with the b-sides disc?
If old: then you get more music for your money, but it's still not the real package
If the remaster: then you have the wrong 2nd disc and the wrong package.
 
It was at the store.  It's the old one. I don't mind it not being real since I already have the original studio album.
 
I'm listening to "Acoustic Song"...it's bloody amazing.
Bruce writes incredible ballads/acoustics. Him and Roy Z anyway

I am with you. 'Acoustic Song' is one of my favourite Bruce songs.
 
I've been listening to Tyranny of Souls lately, it's kind of grown on me. It brings a kind of melancholic feeling in me (especially from Soul Intruders to Power of the Sun), it conjures up images of a sunset in my mind. It's got a much different tone than CW and AoB, maybe because it was done as a side project with session musicians instead of a real band like the previous albums. Can't wait for a follow-up!
 
I would like to see a follow up, with Roy Z, H, and a well-known drummer. Maybe Mike Portnoy? I would love to see a Bruce album with double-bass drumming.
 
I know, but that's ONE song (I don't really remember, but I think that there's one more double bass passage on the album). He doesn't have to be famous, but I would like to hear more double bass, on every song. I know that it isn't Bruce's style of composing, but IMO it would be very interesting to hear. I mentioned Portnoy because he's a good drummer, and a good songwriter.
 
I liked TOS, but if Bruce releases another solo album while still in Maiden, I would like to see him go a different direction.  My feeling is that he intended it to be a follow up to CW and AOB, but he's doing the metal bit in Maiden ... I am not sure what I would want to see, but something different would be nice.
