Well here's one to add. The video version of "Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge.

This one was new to me, as I've never seen the video. The vocal and keyboard takes are different on this track. Additionally, the crowd sound effects have been removed.

I agree with Mark that it's the same vocal on "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic." Sting's "Love Is The Seventh Wave" definitely has re-recorded vocals in places, but I'm not sure if the entire song is re-recorded. The most notable part is the verse in the middle where the music and vocals change key, which does not occur in the LP version.]]> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 22:52:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4587&PID=48699&title=rerecorded-hits#48699 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4587&PID=48698&title=rerecorded-hits#48698 Author: Fetta

Wow....I always thought it was a different vocal because the raised vocal made it sound so much different to me. The 45 is far superior in my opinion.

"Love Is The Seventh Wave" by Sting and "Every Little
Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Police sound like their
45 vocals were rerecorded. ]]> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 12:22:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4587&PID=48694&title=rerecorded-hits#48694 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4587&PID=48689&title=rerecorded-hits#48689 Author: Jody Thornton

Also though, Whitesnake did not use the re-recorded version of "Here I Go Again" as a 1987 single. It was a third more uptempo recording for the 45-rpm disc.

Just FYI ... Send Me An Angel was not re-recorded for the '89 version. It is remix. I had to research that song thoroughly so I sync'd the 2 versions...the vocal tracks are identical. Some of the synth tracks were added, re-recorded, or altered by reverb.

It's "shoot the curl." "Shoot the curve" probably would have more relevance to "Dead Man's Curve." ;)

The 1976 "Sidewalk Surfin'" remix was done for United Artists' double-LP Golden Summer various artists compilation album, and was concurrently issued as a 45. The vocal track was brand new.

It also doesn't have the initial "bust your buns" during the opening verse like the 1964 hit did. Which, of course, was half of the fun, if not more, in '64. ]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2017 14:53:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4587&PID=48261&title=rerecorded-hits#48261 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4587&PID=48260&title=rerecorded-hits#48260 Author: Hykker

I have the mono version of that LP, and it's the Drag
City version there too.

Speaking of alternate versions of Jan & Dean songs, when
"Sidewalk Surfin'" was reissued in 1976 there was at
least one lyric change. In the original the lyrics go
"you'll probably wipe out when you first try to shot the
(curl? curve? not up on my surfer terminology)", in the
reissue it was changed to "you'll probably eat it...".
There may have been some mix differences as well. Was
this re-worked for 1976 or was this an alternate take
from the original session?

Then there's "Gonna Hustle You" which is "New Girl In
School" with different lyrics.

Some songs are completely re-recorded because of a label change, band member change or they simply aren't happy with the first version.

Here I Go Again - Whitesnake (5 years apart)
Send Me an Angel - Real Life (6 years apart)
I Melt with You - Modern English (7 years apart)

Def Leppard, Journey and Kiss are just a few groups that are re-recording their hits because of band changes or music rights issues.
