my commercial cassingle issued as geffen 19944 states the tracks as below
1-what is takes (remix/edit) (4:06) 2-monkey on my back (lp version) (3:56) todd...i did some more digging on my end and i can confirm that the "remix/edit" version which is on the cassingle is identical to the "chr remix edit" that is on the promo cd single.....hopefully this one is put to rest.... edtop40 |

I just A/B'd the version on Big Ones with the CHR Remix/Edit, and nothing is jumping out at me. I'll have to do a more careful listen when time permits, but if I had to make the call right now, I'd say they are the same mix.

I just heard a version of this song on an old Casey Kasem countdown
where it sounds like a completely different vocal take was used. It had all the typical edit points that I'm used to. Could this be a case of some copies having a completely remixed version and others just have an edit of the album version? |

After syncing up the CHR remix / edit with the LP version (the edit runs 0.26% faster, likely not intentional), I can confirm that the mixes are identical.
Other than the minimal speed difference, the edit is slightly more compressed. Measuring from the first downbeat to 2 minutes and 33 seconds in (at the beginning of the first edit), I see the average RMS of the edit being -15.2 db. The average RMS of the same section of the LP version is -17.25 db... so approximately 2 db greater peak to average levels on the edit. The tracks used for this comparison are tracks 1 and 2 of the promo CD single Geffen PRO-CD-3852, ripped by Ron. TL;DR - The edit is not a remix, although it is slightly denser than the LP version. The version Rich mentioned above from a Casey Kasem countdown with a different vocal take... I have no knowledge of it. |
