On the "30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" CD of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", there's a version of "Candle in the Wind" called the "Acoustic Mix" (a bonus cut). Does anyone have this CD and know what this version is exactly? Is it the main 1973 version but with some instrumentation removed? Or is it a different vocal or with some instruments added?

I have that CD with the acoustic version of "Candle In The Wind." It sounds like an earlier studio version of the song recorded during the making of the LP. I think it's fantastic (clean & simple).

I recently picked up a promo CD single for "Candle In The Wind," which has only one track. As expected, it contains the 45 version of the song.

CD45-17428 (MCA Records)
1. non-described version (printed 3:48; actual 3:49)

Pat, I see that the DJ CD single information accidentally was added to the database under the 1997 version of "Candle In The Wind." The promo CD details above are actually for the 1987 "Live In Australia" version. As noted above, the DJ CD does contain the correct 1987 45 version with the applause removed.

Thanks to Abagon for informing me that his commercial 45 copy of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" has an actual and printed run time of 3:48, just like the promo CD single.

Attn: Pat. I just picked up an original Japan-for-U.S. pressing of Elton John's 1985 compilation titled Your Songs, on MCA MCAD-31016. It seems you have this CD already, as you DO have it listed under the other three top 40 hits that are featured on it, which are "Your Song", "Friends", and "Tiny Dancer". However, note that track 7 is "Candle in the Wind", which is not currently shown in the on-line database. "Candle in the Wind" has an actual time of (3:46) on my copy, which is in line w/ all of the CDs you have labeled as the "(”Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” vinyl LP version)" for its 1987-88 chart run...

Aaron,

Just wondering but there are two different versions I remember of this song. One is on an MCA Hits Sampler Vol 3 which has no ending applause. Then there is a version on the 1995 Love Songs Compilation CD by Elton that has the applause and then the fade out. Which one is the true 45? Are they both the 45 since they both are the same version with alternative endings? And what version is on the CD single that you have, the no applause or the applause and fade??

Thanks in advance!

The 45 version is the one with the applause mixed out.
