If anyone wants to collect the Captain Mix, it is available on NOW That's What I Call Love, track 18. That is where I got it from when I sought it out.
If anyone can correct me, I thought the AC Mix was the country mix and played on country radio and the Captain Mix was remixed specifically for POP radio which is why it went all the way to #1. The Captain Mix was the only version I heard on radio back then. |

The AC Mix is definitely different from the LP version, but I don't know which version country radio played. The LP version has steel guitars and a completely different vocal take. All three mixes (LP version, AC Mix, and Captain Mix) are noticeably different. I believe the AC and Captain mixes share the same vocal take, but the piano is a different take between the two, and the latter has a key change toward the end. I'm sure there are numerous other differences, but those are two major ones that make it easy to compare.

It's also available on the original US CD single for $1 on Discogs. |

What about the mainstream mixes? How do they differ from the AC and Captain Mix? |

Listened to the Captain Mix today and can say I've never
heard that version before or on the radio locally. If it's played on the radio, I usually hear the A/C mix. The country stations play the LP version. The A/C mix is what I play at weddings vs. the LP version. |

The Mainstream Mix is totally different from the Captain and AC mixes. Again, the vocal take is likely the same as those two mixes, but the piano is mostly gone, there are new guitars added, and the bass drum hits on every beat giving it an uptempo feel.
It's funny how the version played varied widely in each market. Jimct says above that his station played the Mainstream Mix. |

Also, the Mainstream Acoustic Version is different from all of the other versions mentioned so far. A drum machine has taken the place of live drums, there is no piano, and it sounds like new acoustic guitar parts have been recorded for it. The vocal take, however, is the same as the Captain, AC, and Mainstream mixes.

The Country stations play the LP cut. And it was also
serviced to Country stations on Compact Disc Express aka CDX. |

Upon organizing I discovered that there is a promo which doesn't appear to be either the AC mix or Captain Mix that runs 3:45...anyone have any idea what mix this is? I don't have it and until tonight I never even realized it existed.
Aaron you have it? https://www.discogs.com/Lonestar-Amazed/release/5265335 Edited by PopArchivist |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

To Richie:
That is the first promo of "Amazed" serviced to Country radio. It is the LP Version with steel guitars. Please note I don't own this release; I'm only using logic. Anyone out there please correct me if I'm wrong! Andy |
