Wilson Phillips' "Impulsive" is another instance where I like the Original LP Version over the Single Version. On the other hand, I prefer the Single Version of "The Dream Is Still Alive" over the LP Version.

I think the Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" album was like that, too. Shorter versions of "Money For Nothing" and "So Far Away" on the LP, longer versions on the CD.

Hmmm - I have one of the limited run of LPs from 1989/1990 from Michael Bolton, but my LP has the drums included. I think this is an instance where single versions were placed on the LP but album versions were included on the CD and cassette (ala "Chronicles" from Steve Winwood)

"When I'm Back on My Feet Again" is one of the few instances where I like the single and album versions equally. (And it's not like the single version is only slightly difference). The big drums vs. no drums make it noticeably different. ]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:40:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10239&PID=66940&title=single-remixes-vs-original-album-mix#66940 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10239&PID=66937&title=single-remixes-vs-original-album-mix#66937 Author: thecdguy

I also prefer the Original LP Versions of Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" And "When I'm Back On My Feet Again". One thing that stuck out to me is that on the Original LP Version of"How Am I....", he sings the line as "How Can I Blame Ya", and on the Single Mix, he sings it as "How Can I Blame Yew". Plus the Original LP Version is about half a minute longer than the Single Versio no. On 'When I'm Back On My Feet Again', there are drums that come on at about 1:00 into the song on the Single Version, whereas they're not there on the Original LP Version.

Does the LP version of "How Will I Know" precede the final chorus with "Hey Hey, Hey Hey"; or with "Oooooh"?

Hey Hey, Hey Hey.

The intro on the Original LP Version is also different, as Edison Lite mentioned.

I, too, prefer the LP version of Greatest Love of All (the biggest difference is the acoustic piano instead of the electric piano, but also a longer intro, and other variations). For How Will I Know, I definitely prefer the LP intro more (more exciting to my ears), but for the rest of the song, I like the single mix

As far as I know, there's no CD that has the true single mix of "How Will I Know" fully from tape sources (a small section must be taken from vinyl)]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2025 10:34:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10239&PID=66930&title=single-remixes-vs-original-album-mix#66930 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10239&PID=66929&title=single-remixes-vs-original-album-mix#66929 Author: thecdguy
