 Topic: Mellow Man Ace - MentirosaPosted: 09 February 2008 at 1:09am |

For many years, I always thought the song "Mentirosa" by Mellow Man Ace was the LP version on the single. Now, I'm not so sure. I pulled out my 12" copy which has the "Radio Edit" as the lead track, and sure enough it's a remix with a slightly different beat. (The credits say it's remixed by Joe The Butcher and Tony G.)
Does anyone know if the cassingle or 7" has this same remix? (The video uses the same remix as my 12" copy.) Edited by aaronk |

Aaron:
Did you happen to confirm whether or not the album and single version of "Mentirosa" are identical? |

I'm still working on it with Ed. Technical glitches have held things up, but I'll report my findings as soon as I have an answer.

I've never seen an American 45 of this title. There was definitely never a stock copy. It's possible that Capitol pressed it as a promo-only 7-inch in its "7PRO-" series, as I have a different Mellow Man Ace single in this series, but I've never seen "Mentirosa."
My promo CD single, Capitol DPRO-79130, contains two mixes of "Mentirosa" and five of "Welcome to My Groove." The lead track is the "Radio Edit" of "Mentirosa" (listed and plays 4:16) and it has in the notes "Remixed by Joe the Butcher and Tony G" as well as "Original version appears on the Compact Disc, Cassette and Album MELLOW MAN ACE." This is the version I heard on the radio when it was popular. A copy of the cassingle that is for sale on a web site right now (Capitol 4JM-44533) says that "Mentirosa" is the "Radio Edit", and the B-side, "Welcome to My Groove," is "Hurley's Deep House Mix" (the seventh and final track on my promo CD single).

I just obtained the cassette single of Mentirosa and it is definitely a different mix than the LP version. The cassette single introduction sounds like a channel is missing and after listening to all of the cd's listed in the database, there is only 1 cd, "Decades Of Dance: The 90's" that has the cassette single version.

Nice job uncovering this one, gang! I only wish I hadn't passed up my chance to buy the Decades of Dance: The 90's CD years ago when it was still in print. Yeah, I know there are a few used copies floating around out there, but I'm generally not a fan of buying previously handled CDs unless they're in mint condition.
By the way, the single and album version info for "Mentirosa" still needs to be added to the database. Edited by Todd Ireland |

Now, if you were talking about vinyl, I'd be with you. As far as CDs go, I rarely ever buy anything new. While I try to find mint used copies, occasionally they have a couple light marks. I just can't justify spending $15 on a CD just because the plastic wrapper is missing. One of the beauties of CDs is that a couple light scratches or 100 passes over the laser doesn't diminish the sound quality! |
