Sixpence None the Richer

On the promo single of Sixpence None the Richer's "There She Goes", track 1 is "album mix" and track 2 is "remix". Is the "remix" considered the single version? Pat's book (the 9th edition) lists 2 CDs with this song but does not indicate a comment like "album version", so I'm not sure which version on the promo is actually considered the single version. For those interested, the remix is a significantly clearer mix than the album mix -- I'm not sure if any additional instruments are present, but everything is clearer, and many sounds like the guitars seem louder in the mix.

Both mixes are listed as 2:42, but only the album mix clocks in at 2:42. The remix is truly 2:38. I don't think there's an edit (just a quicker fade), but I haven't A-B'd these for certainty.

For what it's worth, Top Hits USA has the version in which the first four seconds of acoustic guitar are centered, then the electric guitars are spread out in the soundstage. It was on their weekly disc T0492 and the recurrent hits disc RH056. There's no version name credited, but it sounds like the "Snow Day" soundtrack version you listed.

And on TM Century, they also have nearly every listing as the "Ben Grosse Mix" except one called "Tom Lord-Alge Mix."

Odd, I would have probably assumed this was released as a single. It sure got as much airplay around here as "Kiss Me" did.

EdisonLite, Is it Ed by chance?

I'm referring to Todd Ireland's post above;

"EdisonLite:

Sixpence None the Richer's "There She Goes" was never released as a commercial retail single, so the "remix" on your promo CD would have to be considered a radio mix. Does the album mix and
remix both have the same run time?"

I just went to the shelf and pulled both Hitdiscs 314-B (Ben Grosse) and 315-B (Tom Lord-Alge Mix) and I can't honestly tell the difference. Maybe this would require the detective
work of Aaron's sense of hearing or perhaps Ron's spectral analysis. They are both within a second of each other in timing according to the Hitdisc's back pages.

I think it was mentioned above as well that the album mix is about the same length as the Ben Grosse Mix. Maybe Tom Lord-Alge Mix is the album version?

Edit: Looks like a quick dash over to Discogs helped me discover the "Album Version" was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge. (Elektra – 7559-63728-2, Elektra – E3728CD.)
So, two versions as I see it. Hard to tell them apart by my ears.

Edit 2: Headphones to the rescue! The album version is as described above with guitars centered at the beginning. (Also known as the Tom Lord-Alge Mix.)
and the separated beginning in the left channel is the "Ben Grosse Mix."

Edit 3: I suppose I got an answer as well to the "Single" question as Discogs has listings for a CD single and a vinyl 45 as well. *Sigh*
