I also noticed the Album Version starts with a guitar strum heard at low volume for the first second, then comes on full-throttle. The Single
Version cuts out that one second strum.]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2020 09:49:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1898&PID=53355&title=londonbeat-a-better-love#53355 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1898&PID=49400&title=londonbeat-a-better-love#49400 Author: aaronk

Although I don't have the actual disc, I have the files from the following promo CD single:

CD45-1531
1. CHR Mix (listed & actual 4:05)
2. AC Mix (listed 4:03; actual 4:02)
3. Power Mix (listed 4:04; actual 4:06)

The CHR Mix from this promo is the exact same Humberto Gatica mix found on the 1-track US promo CD (CD45-1397). The AC Mix is very similar to the CHR Mix, but it strips out the electric guitar and softens the sound of the drums a bit. (Unlike the discussion on Richard Marx's "Angelia" in another thread, this one does actually have discernible mix differences.)]]> Tue, 29 May 2018 09:38:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1898&PID=49400&title=londonbeat-a-better-love#49400 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1898&PID=23722&title=londonbeat-a-better-love#23722 Author: edtop40

Not in the US (commercially), but I have the UK CD single, which does have what's called The Umberto Mix, running about 3:58.

Track listing:

1. A Better Love (The Umberto Mix)
2. I've Been Thinking About You (Acoustic)
3. A Better Love (Acoustic)
4. I've Been Thinking About You (7")

The 7" version of "Thinking About You" here has the drums on the intro, which are missing from the promo CD version. Not sure if the 45/cassingle had the introductory drums or not.

The single mix's most noticible diference is more reverb on the lead vocal. There are other minor differences as well; the single mix is best described as being more slick.

I always thought the version of "A Better Love" on Londonbeat's In the Blood CD (Radioactive/MCA 10192) was the same one played on the radio. What is the difference between the LP mix and the single remix? ]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2007 12:54:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1898&PID=9366&title=londonbeat-a-better-love#9366 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1898&PID=9363&title=londonbeat-a-better-love#9363 Author: AndrewChouffi
