Also in A BEST is End roll, which had new vocals as well, as well as Boys & Girls, which had a different mix, making it sound more pop/rock than para-para/dance.
I couldn't hear any difference in A BEST 2 yet.
In A COMPLETE, all songs were remastered, so you could hear clearer vocals and all, and it's most prominent in the older songs.
Also, songs in A COMPLETE that are different from the ones in their respective albums:
WHATEVER - single version is used, I think it's called Version M (or was it J? oopsy!)
TO BE - single version is used, so the first few seconds sound different and the guitar solo sounds louder in the bridge
monochrome - single version is used, so the guitar at the intro is softer, and there's a guitar solo in the bridge. Also, at the end, just like in A, a man says 'yeah right' and slams a door.
appears - First downbeat is much louder. Could be the effects of remastering...
vogue - Comparing vogue in Duty, the one in A COMPLETE seems to have a few beats cut off at the beginning - i.e. there doesn't seem to be any drum beatings at the start of vogue in A COMPLETE, as compared to the one in Duty.
AUDIENCE - A different mix was used, I suppose. A COMPLETE's AUDIENCE sounds much more dance-y.
M - Guitar solo was cut off, and we can now hear the bridge without the guitar, which is basically the weird poppy/bubbly sounds and strings.
STEP you - the synths in the beginning are now alternating between a loud downbeat and a soft offbeat, as compared to the one in (miss)understood, where every beat of the synth is loud.
The rest of the songs were remastered, so the vocals are much clearer and louder. I mentioned it's prominent in the older songs, but these songs were pretty different in terms of remastering too:
INSPIRE
Mirrorcle World
Others have also mentioned that Dearest has a louder harp (piano?) at the chorus, but I'm not too sure.
I've listed all the above differences based on what I've heard, so if I have missed out on anything, or have made any mistakes, feel free to tell me!
