i don't know if anyone has noticed, but the mix of "sweet pea" on varese "sunshine days, vol 4" is very different than any mix i've heard before (i used MCA "vintage music vol. 17 & 18" for my reference)... i don't have a 45 copy, but i'm fairly certain the sound was keyboard heavy, while the varese mix has guitar up and different vocals... can anyone shed some light on this?

I believe that have been two mixes out there for a while, one with the vocals mostly to one side and another with the vocals centered. I don't know which surfaced and when.

I do know that ABC and Dunhill stuff would show up with different mixes. Midnight Confessions by the Grass Roots had one mix on 16 Greatest Hits and then another on the "ABC Collection" in 1976. The ABC Collection mix can be found on the Vintage CD on MCA.

The version I have from Tommy Roe's Greatest Hits has vocals centered.

The version with the vocal off to one side and the drums in the center channel is the original LP mix. The version with centered vocals is a re-mix done for a greatest hits lp.
Live in stereo.

Having a little trouble deciphering--which one's on the Varese CD? (Or is it neither?)

there are also two distinct stereo mixes of "Sheila". One where the drums start off alternating center and left channel then staying mostly left, with the vocals and other instrumentation up center (the drums thing happens again at 1:03).

My other stereo mix has drums and Tommy's vocal center, with guitar left and organ and background vocals right.

Anyone know the story here? Same as "Sweet Pea" perhaps?

I had intended to start a thread on these various different mixes, but haven't got around to it.

Yes same as Sweet Pea. One was the original LP mix, one was the Greatest Hits lp remix.

If the varese cd has centered vocals, it is the version remixed for the greatest hits album.

That's not what I meant (sorry for the confusion). I'm having trouble figuring out with my meager ears whether the vocals are centered or not on the Varese CD version. It doesn't sound like they are, but I'm not sure.

To throw another wrench in, my copy of "Sheila" from Tommy Roe Greatest Hits is mono. Everything is centered, lol.
