Stevie Nicks - Rooms On Fire

I found a shorter edit of this on Now That What I Call Music 15 (Virgin EMI Polygram UK CD NOW 15, 1989), running 4:24, and I think it may be the "Radio Edit" (printed time of 4:19) from the promo CD single Modern PR2691-2.

It's an easy edit from the LP version. Start with the LP version - I chose Atlantic's Year In Review: 1989 (Atlantic PR 3129-2). Then remove 16 beats, editing on the downbeat, from 1:23.2-1:30.8.

That's it.

The mix of this song on both my CDs is pretty thin-sounding - too much treble, not enough bass. It's clear why she remixed everything for her greatest hits, Timespace, which sounds terrific but isn't the original mixes.

There are MANY cases where you wonder, "Why bother?"

Ron, FYI, I have just discovered that the actual time of my 1-track, PR 2691-2, listed time of (4:19) promo CD single is actually (4:29).

I'm a step ahead of you, Ron. I already have both versions ready to be analyzed by Aaron K, and one of us will soon follow up.

I presume that the "Rooms On Fire" on the US vinyl LP "The Other Side of the Mirror" is different from the US commercial 45.
Because The 45 states the descriptions of the "7 remix, Mixed by Stephen W. Tayler, and Remixed from Modern LP 91245 The Other Side Of The Mirror" on the record label (Modern 7-99216).
