I've never heard the New Mix with the long reverb on the radio. Every station I've heard it on plays the LP version with the tight echo.

The New Mix almost sounds like a different take, because the vocals are brought way forward in the mix.

I think the LP version actually sounds "more '80s" because the drums are similar to the gated snare effect that Phil Collins popularized.

I went down a rabbit hole this week thanks to an official YouTube upload. (See the “Sledgehammer” thread.) I suppose it happens more often than we realize that the original audio track gets swapped with something that sounds better, even if the mix doesn’t match the original music video.

Has anyone noticed that a third mix of "And She Was" surfaced on their first "best of" set 'Sand In The Vaseline'?

Is that not the LP edit?

I'm a little confused. Let me know if any of the following statements are incorrect:

The first pressing of the 45 includes the LP version from Little Creatures.

Sand In The Vaseline also includes the LP version (same analog transfer as Little Creatures but some EQ differences and possibly some added noise reduction).

The later pressings of the 45 included the "New Mix", which has the big reverb/echo. (RE1 in the matrix number.)
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
