   I just placed an order for a copy that does not have any "RE" in the deadwax, so we'll see what it sounds like when it arrives!

	Let us know what you find, Aaron! I wonder if there are any other changes between your soon-to-arrive original pressing and the RE2 reissue that you already have.
	There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

	Deadwax for Side A is: P FV 41412 A G1A CACT This pressing certainly has the original LP mix of "I Want A New Drug." I spot checked the other songs on Side A, and the mixes are the same. The only additional thing that's noteworthy is that "Heart And Soul" runs about 0.4% slower than the RE2 pressing. This doesn't seem like much, but it was obvious when I listened that it sounded like it was slow.

	Aaron, was that a collection of hits by Huey Lewis you picked up? I'm wondering if it has that alternate mix of "The Power Of Love" that I discovered on that collection of DJ discs?

	Nope, I bought the original vinyl LP of "Sports." If I recall correctly, the alt. mix of "Power Of Love" is on the UK CD of Fore and maybe a couple other UK discs.

	Bumping this up. So yesterday, I bought the LP of “Sports”, which got me to remember this discussion pertaining to whether there was ever a Bob Clearmountain Mix of “I Want A New Drug” as there was a claim that the earliest pressings of “Sports”, had a different mix than later pressings that were close to the 45 sound. I couldn’t find any evidence of this, however I did come across this interview. https://www.grammy.com/news/huey-lewis-40th-anniversary-of-s ports- creating-radio-hits-interview-videos “I couldn't get "I Want A New Drug" to groove. I mixed it three or four times with Bob Clearmountain, who's brilliant. We just couldn't get it to where it sounded good to me. I finally got it as best I could. The record was done.”
