The third version is on CD, "Love Songs" on RCA Legacy. Sound quality is excellent.

I have a theory about where the 3rd mix of "Think About Love" might come from. Check out this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_About_Love

There was an 8-song LP (and cassette) released in 1986, containing 5 remixed songs. The album is titled 'Think About Love' and, of course, the song is on there. Maybe this is where the weird "third" mix comes from! I've known about this LP for a few years but always assumed the remix that was on this was the single mix. It does seem like some hands-on work was done to create the mixes on this release, so maybe this is the origin of this mix.

Good question, Gordon. John sent me a dub he'd found that matches your description. To me, it sounds like someone's home-brew attempt to replicate the 45 using the LP mix. Like the 45, the keyboards during the intro are more isolated and upfront than on the LP mix, but once the drums kick in, the piano shifts abruptly from center to hard left... not at all natural-sounding. The keyboards are centered throughout the intro on both the 45 and LP (or at least of what little you can hear of them on the LP.)

And, as on the LP version, the extra percussion during the 45's second chorus is also missing from the "third mix." Nor is the overall mix as dense as the Thoener remix.

The song is listed on this Special Products disc. Don't
know which mix is on it. Wonder if it's the original album
mix or the Third one. I was referring to the song being
available on that disc with no knowledge of the mix on that
disc. Still looking for the Thoener pop mix in some form.
Will most likely need to locate a 45 single and transfer
it.

BTW, does anyone know where the third "Think About Love" mix comes from? As I recall, it's a little closer to the single mix than the album mix, but still not the real deal and not close enough. Both those non-single mixes clock in around 3:25, while the Thoener single mix clocks in at 3:17. If anyone has CDs that have the song clocking in around 3:25, it won't be the single mix because it never faded out that late.

I think I've checked all the RCA Special Products Dolly Parton CDs with this song and none had the Thoener single remix. (Actually, there's a THIRD mix - we haven't talked about that one. Some CDs had that mix.)

Which CD did you order?

on an RCA Special Products Dolly Parton CD>

If your notes indicate it was on this CD, that begs the question - where did you read that the single mix was on this CD? Since you haven't gotten the CD yet and actually heard it, I assume you came to this conclusion because you read it somewhere or somebody personally told you the single mix is on this CD.

I really goofed this one. I consulted my notes and it was
on an RCA Special Products Dolly Parton CD. I have ordered
a copy of this disc and will post about what version of
"Think About Me" is on it and further details.

Actually, after I theorized that you were thinking "Real Love", I checked the track listing for both "Love Albums" (vol. 1 & 2), and "Real Love" isn't on either volume. So now I'm really confused. And there probably aren't many Thoener remixes. Do you know if you saw "Think About Love" with the Thoener mix on something?

I was apparently thinking Real Love. RCA needs to re-issue Greatest Hits with the original uncut LP and some bonus tracks. Think About Love in the Thoener Remix would be perfect here.

Actually, I just checked Amazon. They list a Dolly Parton CD "The Love Album" and another Dolly Parton CD "The Love Album Vol. 2" and they have track listings for both albums, but neither contains "Think About Love". Like you said, both are old, import CDs (from 1989 and 1990, respectively.) Kent, is it possible you were thinking of a different Dolly single that was remixed (like Real Love)? (On the other hand, "Think About Love" WAS remixed by David Thoener!)

Somehow, I'd like to think Amazon made a mistake with the track listing, but they show both album covers, too, and both list the titles there, and neither say "Think About Love".
