So, are you saying you have a file with heavy reverb but do not know where it comes from? I can only assume that TM mislabeled their copy, but there might be an actual "Radio Mix" with extra reverb that I've not heard.]]> Sat, 23 Jul 2022 22:57:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=61317&title=take-that-back-for-good#61317 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=61313&title=take-that-back-for-good#61313 Author: prisdeej

The "Radio Mix" I gave a quick listen to is on GoldDisc 963N and was redistributed because the prior copy it replaced in the archive had a read error. Thanks for checking Aaron,
we can finally put this Album Version versus Radio Mix mystery to rest. ]]> Sat, 23 Jul 2022 14:02:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=61313&title=take-that-back-for-good#61313 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=61308&title=take-that-back-for-good#61308 Author: aaronk

The "Radio Mix" from the TM Century GoldDisc sounds to me like it's covered in reverb compared to the album version from the promo CD single, which is dry. ]]> Fri, 22 Jul 2022 19:05:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=61307&title=take-that-back-for-good#61307 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=55731&title=take-that-back-for-good#55731 Author: aaronk

Yes, when I say "faithful to the original" in my earlier post, what I mean is that it's not a dance/house remix or something really
different, like other "remixes" were at the time. As I mentioned, it does have a different drum track, different bass synth line, and
some other overdubs in places. The vocals, acoustic guitar, main synths, etc., are all carried over from the album mix.

As far as a "Radio Mix" goes, I've never heard anything other than what is on the promo CD singles. Perhaps this is another case where
the UK got a different album version but the US full-length CD uses the radio mix?]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2020 07:59:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=55730&title=take-that-back-for-good#55730 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=55726&title=take-that-back-for-good#55726 Author: EdisonLite

That’s a hits compilation series that was licensed to
jukebox operators,
similar to Promo Only for DJs. I can’t speak to this
particular mix but I
think I have another volume that, as far as I recall,
had straightforward
versions - LP versions and radio edits.

**Edit/Addendum: A minute of research determined that
this series targeted DJs as well. I see there's also
a copy of that particular disc available on eBay now.

Well, I should clarify that last question. I have a file called "radio mix" which doesn't seem different than the album mix to MY ears. Does anyone who has a track labeled "radio mix" hear any differences?]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2020 18:58:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=55722&title=take-that-back-for-good#55722 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=55721&title=take-that-back-for-good#55721 Author: EdisonLite

Shortly after Aaron's last post, I bought the "Back For Good" single:

ASCD-2881
1. Remix (listed & actual 4:02)
2. Urban Mix (listed & actual 4:02)
3. Album Version (listed & actual 4:00)

The Remix is quite different from the album version but I quite like it (though I prefer the original more).

That said, there seems to be a version someone shared called "radio mix". I'm not sure if it came from Promo Only, Hit Discs or one of those type things. I listened to it and it sounds the same as the album mix to me. (I thought maybe the background vocals were louder, but I'm not sure and think it's more likely an EQ thing). However, with this mix being labeled "radio mix" and not "remix" like the CD single that Aaron and I have, does anyone know if this apparent "radio mix" is really any different from the album mix? Whoever originally shared it labeled it {Hot Hits Pop Vol. 39} - but that could be their own terminology for CDRs they compile.

Can anyone confirm that there is a "radio mix" different from the others? ]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2020 18:57:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8804&PID=55721&title=take-that-back-for-good#55721
