Has the 7" promo remix of "That's Love" by Jim Capaldi appeared on any import CDs?

Recently I�ve been on a Steve Winwood kick, which brought me to That�s Love by Jim Capaldi - specifically the differences between the LP version and the remix. I have the remix from 3 sources - the US 7�, the UK 12�, and digitally from the Dear Mr. Fantasy box.

I also have LP version from the Fierce Heart CD, plus the German VA CD compilation Heart Rock - Rock F�r's Herz - Vol. 8. The differences I�ve found:

LP Version
Left channel - this is mixed pretty dry; there�s not a lot of reverb or brightness compared to the right channel. The snare drum is a good example - in the left channel it sounds flat and lifeless, like a demo recording. Whereas in the right channel it�s lively, and has discernible reverb.

Background synths - the synth-strings swelling in the background are spread in stereo, such that the lower notes are in the left channel, and the higher notes are in the right channel.

Percussive Breath� - this is a subtle background synth voice which almost sounds like the 10cc �I�m Not In Love� vocal effect, except here it�s used as a soft percussion accent, like an open hi-hat. You can first hear it in the intro at 10 seconds in, and then again at 14 seconds in. It�s mostly in the right channel in the LP version.

Remix
The left channel is no longer dry - it�s got reverb, it�s brighter. It really sounds like they narrowed the stereo mix a bit, and as a result all the aspects associated with the right channel of the LP version are heard in both channels - the breathy sound, the upper synths, etc.

I did not notice any instrumental/vocal differences other than the changes to the channel distribution and effects. Curious to know if anyone has catalogued other differences?

my commercial 45 issued as atlantic 89849 states on the label a run time of 3:36 and listed the version as "vocal" which atlantic did on almost every "normal" release during the 80's.....but...the 45 actually runs 3:33 and matches the running time of the songs only cd appearance

Gordon, my commercial 45 contains the original mix. I have not been able to find any Import CDs that have the remix version. I echo Gordon's interest in finding one, but I'm not very optomistic about its chances of ever turning up on CD. Honestly, I was very pleased to have even seen the Wounded Bird CD of his "Fierce Heart" LP be issued back in 2004.

Does the commercial 45 of "That's Love" have the remix or the original?

Apparently, the remix version is not on CD in the U.S. Are there any overseas CD that have the remix version?

Hi Jim,

There were two promo 45s, released a few weeks apart; original lp version, and then "remix".

I think Todd wrote that initial post in 2004, and Jim just bumped it up when he found the promo remix of the Capaldi tune. I don't think these are "new" additions.

I have just found a long-misfiled promo 45 for Jim Capaldi's "That's Love". This promo 45 states "Remix" and has a listed time of (3:36) on both sides, but has an actual time of (3:33) for both sides.
