Luscious Jackson - Greatest Hits

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   For anyone who was wondering, Capitol neglected to use the single mixes for all but "Naked Eye" on the new Greatest Hits compilation.

Only two of Luscious Jackson's singles were issued without some sort of editing or mixing differences ranging from what sounds like subtle EQ'ing alterations to full-on re-inventions.

While the restructured single mix of their only Top 40 hit "Naked Eye" is included (Radio Edit, referred to here as Radio Version), the beginning of the song has been overlapped onto the end of the "Intro" track (a crackle-y, mono, 5-second call to "put the needle on the record" that initially kicked off 1994's Natural Ingredients) so those seeking the full, accurate Top 40 hit mix will still have to rely on the original CD single.
