Driver’s Seat - Sniff "N" The Tears

   I have had the 45 and LP versions of this song "Driver's 

Seat" for several years as it has been a favorite for me 

since 1979. 

While running errands Friday morning with SiriusXM 70's 

on I heard the tail end of a version of this song I have 

never heard before. 

Earlier today I came across the 12 inch version on 

Amazon Music. Amazing how this one got by me all these 

years. Anyone who has not heard the l2 mix / version 

should seek out a listen. I do not know but it may be a 

different take instead of a mere remix.

	Looks like it was remixed in 1980 and released in the UK. That version runs 5:48 and appears on a 1991 Ace UK CD release.

	It's funny how things like this evade us for such a long time. It was well after the year 2000 that I discovered what I assume is the album version of Rare Earth's cover song, "Get Ready." All I ever ever heard up until then was the 45 version. It was like a musical epiphany to her that extra long version the first time. I think I might have that 12" of Sniff 'n The Tears song. And I agree, it is much better than the 45 version. I am somewhat partial to many 12" versions anyway.
