Chicago-"Look Away"

Pat, I have a promo CD single for this (PRO-CD-3219). It has 2 cuts, with no listed times. Cut 1 is "CHR Mix", with an actual time of (3:59), while Cut 2 is "AC Mix", with an actual time of (3:58).

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the "CHR mix" was the 45 mix [labeled (remix) on the 45]; the "AC mix" was the lp version.

Since I'm no good at determining minor song differences, I will be shooting out both tracks out to Andy. He will no doubt be able to clear everything up.

Hi people,

Jim sent me out his "CHR mix" & AC mix" dubs.

The differences were actually quite subliminal.

My current stance is the "AC mix" is neither the 45 or LP mix as the electric guitar (located at '11:00' in the stereo spread) is lower-level in the mix than the 45 or LP version.

My new confusion is upon careful listening while it seems the "CHR mix" is the same as the 45 mix (labeled "remix" on the 45)--I now can hear no mix differences in the LP & 45 mixes with the exception that the 45 does possibly appear to be a little bit more level-controlled than the Lp (but that's about it).

This comes as a surprise to me as when the song was a hit I always thought I could tell the difference between the 45 mix and the LP mix--but now I'm not so sure...

Can anybody shed any additional light on this?

I wouldn't normally care as much but it is definitely one of my all-time favorite records (I know that's sacrilege to admit).

Thanks to Jim's DJ CD single info above, the database correctly states: (dj copies of this cd single run (3:59) the "CHR mix" and (3:58) the AC mix"). I just thought I'd pass along the commercial 45 run time for "Look Away", which is 3:58. (Timing info courtesy of abagon. The printed record label time is 3:59.)
