There are no comments for this song in the database. Can you explain the differences between the LP and 45 versions, Ed? I never realized there was a difference.

According to the website discogs. com, it appears that the "remix" runs
2:46 and is the version on "greatest hits" released back in 1990. The
version from "Less Than Zero" runs 2:31, again according to the website
discogs.com--but I don't have the original soundtrack so i can't verify
that (the database says it's the same length as all other CDs). The 7"
remix is done by Bill Drescher and David White, and the 12" remix is done
by Keith Cohen and Steve Beltran, so the 7" is not just an edit of the 12"
(the 12" does not begin with the sort of 'jingle bells' effect and the
acapella vocal harmonies, but instead slams in with the drum track and is
clearly remixed even further).
If the soundtrack version is indeed shorter and a different mix than the 7"
remix version, I'd be curious to know what the differences are as well.

After comparing the version from Less Than Zero and
Greatest Hits, the only difference I hear is that the soundtrack
version sounds just a tad more tinny than the other one. They both
time out the same to 2:46. I don't know if the soundtrack CD is
different from the soundtrack LP.

Paul,
do the liner notes say anything specific on the Less Than Zero CD about a remix? The liner notes in Greatest Hits say "remix & additional production by Bangles, Bill Drescher, and David White".

It says the same thing on the soundtrack liner notes.

On the 1987 pressing I just picked up recently, it runs an actual 2:45. And the liner notes to the soundtrack do say "Hazy Shade of Winter Recorded by Thom Panunzio. Remix and additional production by Bangles, Bill Drescher, and David White." So Discogs is wrong on this one.
I was wondering the same thing myself when I saw the 45 on Ebay and saw that it says "Remix" on the label.

Hmmmm... Or perhaps we're dealing with a Whitney Houston "How Will I Know" type situation here where an original version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" running 2:31 may well have appeared on early pressings of the Less Than Zero soundtrack, but then was quickly replaced by the hit "remix" version that we're accustomed to hearing. Now of course we just need to find concrete proof that an original version was ever officially issued.

All current db CDs seem to indicate the same (2:42) to (2:47) version of
this song to be present.
Although there is no reference to any (2:31) mix on it anywhere, my stock
12" single (Def Jam 44-07540) does include some specific version
descriptions:
Side A:
1-Purple Haze Mix (listed time 4:59)
2-7" Dub Mix (listed time 2:15)
Side B:
1-7" Version (listed time 2:46)
2-Shady Haze Version (listed time 2:46)
The "Shady Haze" version sounds to me like it is simply the 7" version in
reverse, a la Napoleon XIV's 1966 hit, "They're Coming To Take Me Away,
Ha-Haaa!, which even showed the title in reverse, on the B-side of the
stock 45.
At the bottom of Side A, in small print, it notes "Special Version From
'Less Than Zero'/Produced by Rick Rubin/Remixed by Steve Beltran and
Keith Cohen."
While at the bottom of Side B, however, in notes "Special
Version From "Less Than Zero"/Remixed and additional production by
Bangles, Bill Drescher and David White", as others have cited.
This does seem to provide additional "fodder" for the theory that, at
some point in time, another version of "Hazy..." had been released.
Otherwise, what was the 7" Version a "Special Version" of?
Sorry to have provided more new questions than answers.....

Not to derail this thread, but every time I hear or see mention of this song I flash back to my senior year in college. For our advanced radio course we had to put together a 20 minute "variety" show with music and talk segments, then we'd play it for the class and then the professor would critique it and give us a grade. The only thing the professor didn't like about my show was that "you ended that Bangles song too abruptly". When I explained that's how THEY ended the song he said "well then, you should've picked a different song" and instead of an "A" he gave me a B+! Several other students came up to me after class and said I got hosed royally.

Just to update this thread. There is a promo only 12" pressing that was serviced to some college radio stations that contained a version (without intro) that edits out the vocal intro found on the single mix. Time indicated on the label is 2:17 but actually runs 2:15
The other side is the 2:46 version that is on the 45 single
Record info is Def Jam #CAS 2857 (matrix: Xss 174223

I seem to recall hearing on the radio both the 2:15
version indicated above (which starts with the drums) and
another version where the intro was truncated. I believe
it started a few seconds before the first line "Time,
time, time..." right before the drums kick in (Kind of
similar to how someone on another thread mentioned that
they heard a truncated organ intro on George Michael's
"Faith" on the radio). I'm wondering if this truncated
intro I heard was the elusive 2:31 version that has been
mentioned here.
