free--all right now

(That's the same CD where I got the mono mix of Frigid Pink's "House of the Rising Sun.") Doug mentioned he has a 4:15 version on an import as well, but thought it sounded punchier than the 45.

I also have this Flower Power 2CD set. I just picked it up from a Discogs member in Australia. I have to admit, it sure has a LOT of cowbell! Also I'm hearing a lot
more reverb over the whole mix. To me, the vocals sound more solo'ish. And at one point I can hear some band chatter, unlike the US version.

Is it possible that it's this version? (Quoting crapfromthepast below:)

"Non-hit (in US) 1991 Bob Clearmountain remix (4:18)

This is a drastically remixed version that turned out to be a UK hit in 1991. It's not subtle."

This is the second song from this Flower Power collection I'm posting about this weekend. As with the Joe Cocker tune, "The Letter", This sounds more like a live mix.
