Remixes

   Just listening to Fontella Bass - Rescue Me on Vintage Music Vol. 8.  Not 

only is it missing reverb, but it is a remix.

Another remix is Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go on Vintage 

Music Vol. 7.  This remix is likely found on many other CDs too (but not 

noted in the database).

Pat, I know it must be quite the task to pull every CD with a song such as 

the above to determine which CDs contain the remix and which contain 

the original.  I know your database likes to track A LOT of detailed info 

about songs (45/LP versioning, errors, differences, etc.), which of course 

is what we all love about it.

I ask, are remixes such as these two songs important?

If the answer is yes, I (and likely others) can point out in their own 

collection which CDs contain remixes.  I know of a few more.

	Just FYI - "Born To Be Wild" on Vol. 9 of the Vintage Music series is a remix. It's missing a few elements, like a particular guitar line in a portion of the song. And, it extends out further than the 45 or LP versions and comes to a cold ending! You most likely knew all that if you have the Vintage Music discs. Point being: It's not surprising that there are a few remixes on those discs. I don't know how well they're documented, though, and that's the point of your post.
