Here's my CD with the 4:20 version of "Angel Eyes" on it -- notice the font of the time is different than all the other tracks, so it was clearly an after-the-fact change to the album.

Yeah, the Jeff Healey Band 'See The Light' CD had been
around for quite a while; there were two AOR-played
emphasis tracks before "Angel Eyes" ("Confidence Man" &
"See The Light").

I remember when "Angel Eyes" started to get AOR play (a
couple of months before being worked to CHR) I thought it
was a great song and found it was co-written by Fred
Koller who performed a lot (and possibly lived for a
time) in nearby Saratoga Springs. I picked up the CD and
I did not like the vocal alternate take on the CD so I
got a DAT dub of the promo CD from a radio MD.

I believe the new version is a thorough remix with new
vocal and some additional/different instrumentation as
opposed to a completely different recording, but I have
not A/B'd it...

That is indeed interesting, and a cool find.

I never knew anyone actually had a Jeff Healey Band LP, as that single version was on just about every single VA collection made.

I wonder if there are any other worthy tracks on the LP? Granted, this single was also played to death on every pop and AC station 'round here back then.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2022 21:15:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9736&PID=59969&title=the-jeff-healey-band-angel-eyes#59969 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9736&PID=59949&title=the-jeff-healey-band-angel-eyes#59949 Author: davidclark

Great catch, VWestlife!

I've done a little digging, and yes it was indeed re-recorded for single
release (I had no idea). The original LP has a 5:19 version as you state - it
can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-guUHBkYh3s.
Sounds similar, but different. And as per the promo CD, the (4:40) remake
was faded early for the 45 (4:17 listed, 4:20 actual).

Since in the database, the CD "See The Light" is indicated to feature the
4:40 version, this contradicts your info, unless of course, which might very
well be the case, some CDs have the 4:40 while others have the 4:20. Odd
that no database CDs feature the 5:19 original recording, yet I found a "See
The Light" CD that does (so are there three versions of the CD?).

Needs further investigation and database update.]]> Sun, 02 Jan 2022 23:33:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9736&PID=59949&title=the-jeff-healey-band-angel-eyes#59949 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9736&PID=59946&title=the-jeff-healey-band-angel-eyes#59946 Author: VWestlife

"Angel Eyes" was re-recorded for the single release in 1989. The original 1988 album version was 5:19 (or at least that's the listed length), and the promo CD of the "newly recorded version" has the "Long Version" (4:40) and the "Single Version" (4:17) on it (listed lengths).

My BMG Direct Marketing (D100810) copy of the "See The Light" CD album (re-released after the song became a hit) has the new 45 version of "Angel Eyes" on it, rather than the album version or long version. Track length is 4:23; listed and actual length is 4:20.

And isn't it The Jeff Healey Band? The database entry omits the "The".
