Elton John - I’m Still Standing extended

   Attempting to edit the LP version onto the vinyl 12" mix, I have come to the conclusion that the 12" either is a remix, or has added instrumentation, because the rhythm section is subtly more "jumpy" in the 12" mix vs. the more straight-ahead rhythm track on the LP version.

However, the sound quality of all the dubs I've found so far has been so terrible that I'm still creating my franken-mix of the first 45 seconds of vinyl followed by the CD because I don't think my audience is likely to notice and the quality is so much better.

This one REALLY needs a digital release from the master tapes!

(Has the source LP, "Too Low For Zero," ever gotten a 24 bit / 96 kHz release? That would be really nice, too. The CD I'm using actually fades on the right channel a hair before the left channel at the end of "I'm Still Standing.")

	I'm listening to the dub from DJ Paul T, and it sounds like the LP version spliced in after the intro (or perhaps the extended version is the full take where the intro was edited down for the LP). I don't hear any mix differences. The YT link in Rich's last post has a pretty drastic smiley-face EQ applied, making it sound quite a bit different from the (presumably) un-EQ'd dub I have from DJ Paul T. Edited by aaronk
