"Is It Love" - Mr. Mister

I wonder if this edited mix was created for the best of cd in 2001.

I have the 2001 "Best Of", and I don't see any indication that it was created specifically for the compilation. There's no indication in the liner notes
about it being "Previously Unreleased" or a "New Mix" or some such term. Only the last song on the comp, "Waiting In My Dreams", is specifically labelled
as being "Previously Unreleased". In fact, the back inlay of the compilation actually says, " The Best Of Mr. Mister features all their hits - in
the original single versions -along with a previously unreleased track and rare, never-before-seen photos".

The scenario that Jason mentioned earlier about the LP Version possibly being accidentally used on the 45 instead of the Mike Shipley remix seems like a
plausible explanation as to why no one has seemed to find the remix on any pressings of the 45.

Also, while the 45 gives a remix credit to Mike Shipley, the Dance Mix on the 12" gives remix credit to Victor Flores. So if the remix appearing on the
2001's "Best Of" is edited down from the 12" and is the version that was meant to be on the 45, shouldn't both gentlemen have been given credit on the 45
label? Unfortunately, the "Best Of" compilation doesn't give any remix credits in the liner notes, only production credits to Paul DeVillers & Mr.
Mister.

Thanks for pointing this out, David, as I failed to
notice that Shipley also gets credit as remixing the
original LP version. This single edit of the Victor
Flores Dance Mix probably was done at the time but
remained in the vaults until it was pulled for the 2001
Best Of compilation, in which the compilers assumed that
it was officially released on the 45.

Some 7" singles run 33 1/3, so it's possible that single has the full 12" dance remix. I'd say it's doubtful that Peru is the only country that released the short remix on vinyl.
