I'm holding the CD single that was sent to the top 40 station I was at when it was released.
It lists two tracks: 1. (7" remixed edit) listed 4:24, actual 4:27 file length 2. (7" remix) listed 4:29, actual 4:30 file length The CD's # is PR 2744-2, Modern Records, a Warner Communications company. (P) 1989 "The Modern album 'The Other Side Of The Mirror' available on LP 91245-1, cassette 91245-4 and compact disc 91245-2." The disc appears to have been stored in sandpaper for the past 22 years, so it's going to take a while to rip it in & tell you actual AUDIO length; I'll report back when I have solid numbers. |

Anybody noticed mixing differences between the "The
Other Side of the Mirror" album version and either of the tracks on PR 2744-2 which are allegedly remixes? I did a partial (and quick) compare listen and honestly couldn't tell any difference, must be very subtle? |

The new Stevie Nicks single cd "Stand Back" has listed in the liner notes that the 45 versions of "Rooms On Fire" and "Talk To Me" are the US single versions but I am having a hard time distinguishing the difference between the 45 version and LP version of both of those songs. Can anyone point out what I should be listening for to distinguish the 45 version from the LP version of those two songs?

The 45 version on the CD single from 1989 runs 8 seconds shorter for Rooms on Fire and is a remix edit, with the remix running 4:29. The greatest hits version and subsequently any releases after the 1989 CD single do not have the correct release. Check your PM concerning the Remix Single version vs the LP version. https://www.discogs.com/Stevie-Nicks-Rooms-On-Fire/release/3 440113 The 4:29 is on a cd single promo with the remix edit of 4:24 https://www.discogs.com/Stevie-Nicks-Rooms-On-Fire/release/6 258627 Edited by PopArchivist |

I have the promo cd single Modern Records PR 2744 which has 2 tracks, the first is the 7" remixed edit which runs (4:24) and the second track which is the 7" remix running (4:29). I also have a 7" vinyl DJ copy which states 7" remix and runs (4:29) so I can only assume that the US 45 version was the 7" remix running (4:29). The parent CD for Rooms On Fire was "The Other Side Of The Mirror" which runs (4:34). There are two versions of the new CD titled "Stand Back". One is a 3 cd set and on there Rooms On Fire runs (4:33) and to my ears sounds the same as the parent album version. The 2nd "Stand Back" CD is a single CD set and on this cd Rooms On Fire runs (4:28) and the liner notes state this is the US 45 version which would be the 7" remix.
Now on May 14, Elcoleccionista posted that he cannot hear the difference between the mix on the parent album and the 7" remix version found on the vinyl 45 or the promo cd referenced above and I am saying the same thing. Can anyone point out exactly what is remixed on the 7" remix version as I am not hearing any difference except in length between the LP version and the 7" remix (45 version). All the other versions of this song on cd that run 4:32, 4:33 or 4:44 appear to be just an LP length. |

I'm with you on this one! The mixing differences from the parent album versus the 7 inch remix on the promo CD single must be VERY subtle. I can't detect any difference at all. Am I missing something other than length? Edited by prisdeej |

They seem to be identical. The "Rooms On Fire" single preceded the album release... my theory is that remix of the song for the single was considered stronger, and thus wound up replacing whichever version was to have appeared on The Other Side Of The Mirror originally.

I remember discussing track this some years ago with a colleague who was a big Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks fan, we opined that the 9 minute version found on the 12" might have been the original version intended for the album given it has a more sparse feel. |
