Eric Carmen - "I Wanna Hear it from..."

I just emailed someone I know at Varese Sarabande who's extremely knowledgable about single mixes and asked him about this one. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

Ok, I should have done this a few days ago. On youtube
there are several postings of the 12" remix from vinyl. I
just listened to it. Here's the scoop:

The track 11 "single mix" is actually a shorter edit of
the 12" remix. I assume created for the promo 12" or
whatever to be a "radio mix" of the 12" remix (even
though I found no editions in Discogs of the vinyl 12"
single that included a shorter edit).
Perhaps this mix was prepared for the commercial 45 but
not used for it, yet remained labeled as such.

Nonetheless, I believe the mixing credits on the Varese
CD are mistaken. The "single mix" and the 12" remix are
the same mix so they have to be by the same remixer. The
12" is credited to Jellybean so ... the shorter one is by
him too.

That leaves 45/LP mix by Don Gehman. I figure back in
'85, they started with some mix we never heard, Don
remixed it, they liked his mix, they put it on the
single, and then said let's just use that on the album
too? It's just one guess of many but that's my theory.

But the definite description of track 11 on this CD is
"edit of the 12" single".
