Pat, you have a missing item in the database. While the database correctly lists:

(4:05) Columbia - The Complete Hits Collection 1973-1997   

This version is on Disc 3, but Disc 4 of the same CD boxed set contains:

(5:18) River of Dreams (unreleased original studio recording)

and I think you should include this in the database as well.

Interestingly, the missing item above is DIFFERENT than:

(5:47) Columbia/Legacy 93520 My Lives (Box Set) (previously unreleased alternate version)

-not just in the sense that the 5:18 version is about 30 seconds shorter than the 5:47 version, but the 5:18 version is essentially the same mix as the hit version, yet with an instrumental interlude of "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Love)" included in the middle - whereas the 5:47 version is a remix from beginning to end, and also contains an instrumental interlude of "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Love)' (which has much more percussion than the same transition in the 5:18 version)!

And if this isn't confusing enough already, there's a 4th version of "River of Dreams" available on CD - the "percapella mix" can be found on the UK Import CD single of "River of Dreams" as a bonus cut.

And IMHO, all 4 versions are really good!
