I wish I could look at my Saturate Before Using CD for you, however my CDs
are in boxes back in Canada and I am in Thailand at present. I purchased it
in 1997 and it is Canadian made.]]> Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:04:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=37355&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#37355 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=37354&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#37354 Author: The Hits Man

You all do know that the mono 45 version of "Doctor My
Eyes" has been available on iTunes for years. I grabbed
it as a FLAC file when it was on Rhino's store.

I disagree strongly that there is no difference between
the stereo and mono versions. The mono mix has the
musical backing much more in the background and the
instruments are bright and up front on the stereo.
However, Brown's voice seems to be at the same level in
both mixes.]]> Tue, 16 Apr 2013 21:52:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=37354&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#37354 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=37347&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#37347 Author: Todd Ireland

Pat and David (and anyone else who can chime in):

Can you guys please check your copy of Jackson Browne's Saturate Before Using and report back if you see an "RE-2" etched among the matrix numbers printed along the center hub of the CD itself? If so, then it's a remastered disc. If not, then it's an original pressing. This may go a long way in helping explain if one pressing contains the original hit mix of "Doctor My Eyes" while the other has a remix.

I've brought up in other threads that the first six Jackson Browne LP releases on the Asylum label were first issued on CD in the '80s and then later remastered in the late '90s. Since both pressings of each CD album appear identical on the outside, the only way to tell the difference between an opened copy of either pressing is by looking at the hub of the CD itself and seeing if the matrix numbers contain "RE-2" among them.

I also should clarify that I do not own the actual vinyl LP to check the mix. What I'm calling "stereo LP mix" is the Time Life copy on "Gold & Platinum," which contains no comment next to it in the database.]]> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 08:59:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=36727&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#36727 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=36726&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#36726 Author: Hykker

My only copy of this is on an Asylum "Spun Gold" reissue,
and it appears to be the stereo LP version. Listed time
3:11, actual 3:13.]]> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 08:15:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=36726&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#36726 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=36723&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#36723 Author: aaronk

There is a pretty good sounding dub of the stereo side of the promo 45 on YouTube. I compared it to the (3:13) Time Life version, and here are my observations:

- The mixes sound almost identical, except the lead guitar is panned slightly to the left on the CD version. It's dead center on the stereo promo 45.

- The shorter run time of the stereo promo 45 is due to an early fade of the LP length.

I guess that means there really are FOUR mixes of the song!

1. mono 45 mix (sounds like a fold-down of the stereo LP mix to my ears)
2. stereo promo 45 mix (lead guitar centered)
3. stereo LP mix (lead guitar panned left)
4. stereo "remix" (issued years later on CD)

By the way, I noticed that the YouTube CD dubs running 3:18 also appear to be remixed. That makes me wonder if the two database CDs that run this length (Next Voice You Hear and Very Best Of) are also remixes. The easiest way to spot this version is right at the start. The original version has two lone bongo beats before the kick drum comes in. The remix has the kick drum along with the bongos right from the beginning.

Thanks for posting that scan, John. I never bought the stock 45, and had no idea that David and Graham got the brush-off!

Perhaps Asylum believed that name-dropping Crosby & Nash on the promo label might help to break both the single and the artist. If so, it worked!]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:56:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=19220&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#19220 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=19218&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#19218 Author: eriejwg

This is a more common label I've seen online...

Wonderful detailed info as always, John.

Interesting that on the label David Crosby and Graham Nash had an assist on this track, yet as the the last 36 years have passed by, bet ya no one would have any idea, including me, that they took part.]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:33:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=19217&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#19217 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2026&PID=19216&title=jackson-brownedoctor-my-eyes#19216 Author: Yah Shure

John, the stereo side of the DJ 45 is slightly faster-pitched and runs slightly longer (2:59) than the mono side (2:57). The fadeout starts a bit later on the stereo side. Towards the end of the fade, the mono side is running about .431 seconds behind the same spot musically on the stereo side.

I have a Specialty pressing in addition to the Plastic Products pressing pictured below. The respective stereo and mono stampers used on both pressings are identical. Matrix numbers are ST-AS-23955-1 (stereo) and AS-23955-1 (mono.)

Fade times for the promo 45:
Mono:   2:43.874 to 2:57.300
Stereo: 2:47.740 to 2:59.350



And although it was touched upon in another old thread, "Rock Me On The Water", the follow-up single to "Doctor My Eyes" was a substantially different take than the album version from Saturate Before Using.
