My commercial 45, which is mono, has a listed time of (2:55) and an actual time of (2:56). I post this info only because all 7 CD appearances shown in the database state a time of between (3:11) and (3:18), with no version designations currently noted.

I read somewhere online (maybe the BSN board?) that the mono version is mixed very differently from the stereo, I have the mono 45 boxed up somewhere but no access to the stereo version. If the mixes are in fact very different, a 45 vs lp version designation may be needed.

According to the database, there is a remix of "Doctor My Eyes" on the My Girl 2 CD soundtrack. Though it's probably not likely, I wonder if this could be the same mix alleged to exist on the commercial 45?

interesting...my copy of the "Saturate Before Using" CD is also a remix and fades at about 3:14. When I purchased his "The Next Voice You Hear: Best Of", it returned to the original mix running 3:18!

After just listening to the 45 and vinyl LP version of Doctor My Eyes, I do not discern any major mix differences other than the standard mono/stereo issues. Anyone care to elaborate on the differences they hear?

I can't offer info about the 45 Pat, but I can about the remix I mention above. It's a subtle remix in terms of how to describe it, but it is noticeably different to my ears. E.g., the high hat (starting at :13) is in the left channel in the remix, but closer to centre in the original. The background vocals (starting at :38) are split left/right in the remix but up center in the original.

Unless it's mono on that CD, I'd say not likely. |

I know of four versions: The original mono single, the original stereo lp version, the remixed lp version, and the alternate take. The single and original LP sound very close and I do not believe deserve any notation. When the LP was released to CD somebody remixed the song and more of the ambiance of the recording studio can be heard, especially on the beginning of the song. The Very Best Of Jackson Browne is an alternate take which may also be on other CDs. It's close to the original take but you can hear it on the first line of the song, his inflection is different.

I don't hear the vocal differences that you point out Bill on the Very Best Of Jackson Browne cd. Does anyone else have any input on this "alternate take"?

My comment "alternate take" may be in error. What I heard on the Very Best Of Jackson Browne that I never heard before: An apparent vocal crack on the word "have" on the first "Doctor My Eyes HAVE seen.." And on the first "Was I unwise" in the first chorus it has a different feel on The Very Best Of. However, the vocal crack I heard may now have always been there, apparant now because this new mix makes Jackson cleaner and louder than before. The chorus difference may be because Jackson is mixed higher on this new mix. I have sent the "unwise" sections to Pat for his comments.
