Poison - I Won’t forget You

does the liner notes say who the remix credits go to....the 45 is a distinctive different mix than the cd/lp the song was issued on.....are you saying you can't hear a difference between the new cd's version of the song and the 45 or you can't hear the difference between the original cd/lp version and the 45???

i'll have to go pick this new cd tomorrow and check the accuracy of the "single mix" description in allmusic.com

i just listened to the version from the new best of cd and to my ears it doesn't sound the same..........to points of reference.....the intro guitar lick has a noticibly different sound.....the guitar sounds buzzier on the 45 and flat on the cd..........also at the 1:35 mark there is a guitar buzz which i cannot hear on the new cd version...........anyone else have any observations....

I listened to the mp3s that were passed along, and I'll agree that there is a difference between the 45 & LP versions. I don't hear any difference in background vocals, though. The only differences I can hear are the guitar parts that Ed points out. For example, there's a guitar lick right around 1:37 that's much louder on the 45 (right before the line "although miles come between us"). Also on the "miles come between us" part, there's a difference in the guitar in the background. The LP version has an electric guitar at this part, while the 45 is using some other kind of guitar.

Pat thanks for the MP3s. It's clear that the 45 is a unique mix. The 1:37 guitar punch that is up front on the 45 is the dead giveaway. Aaron you are on the money on that. The 45 also ran slower on the MP3 I had.

As far as any difference between the Cat Dragged and Best Of, that's a tough one. "Best Of" could be a slight remix, or a mix similar to the LP version that was mislabled, or maybe the group had an earlier version of a 45 on Enigma and not Capitol?

Or, it could simply be that Capitol for "Best Of" used a stereo expander and compressed it. I don't hear any significant difference between the Cat Dragged and Best of Version except in EQ, compression and possibly reverb. The reverb could have been brought up by stereo expansion and compression. Or, like I said, it's a mix very close to the LP version that was mislabeled.

i just bought the remastered cd "look what the cat dragged in" and it indeed does contain the remix 45 version of "i won't forget you" as track number 12.....we can finaly put this one to bed......
