| Both my promo and stock 45 have the listed and actual (4:13) (U.K. Mix) on one side, and the listed and actual (4:40) (U.S. Mix) on the other. While there is no blatant indication is to which side RCA intended as the "A" side, below the RCA stock # (14325), in small letters, it does show "PB-14325-A" on the 4:13 UK Mix side, and "PB-14325-B" on the 4:40 US Mix side, on both my stock and promo 45s. We played the shorter UK mix. Perhaps the 4:13 & 4:14 versions on CD in the database, currently shown as "LP version", could in fact be the 4:13 UK mix of the stock/promo 45. Pat, based on both your database and the Whitburn book, which indicates the UK mix as the "B" side of the 45, it somehow seems that the (4:40) US mix became, for historical purposes, the "definitive" 45 version - Just thought I'd raise the point - I do think the majority of radio DID go with the 4:40 US mix. |

| I also remember most radio stations playing the longer US 45 version. Interestingly enough, when RCA in the US released "Digging Your Scene" as 12" single, they put an extended mix on one side, and the UK mix on B-side. The US mix was only available on the 45. |

| To be fully accurate, perhaps database CD entries containing a "U.K. mix" comment should be slightly revised to read "U.K. mix and LP version"? |

The U.K. Mix (4:13) is the original U.K. single/album version. The U.S. Mix (4:40) is an edit of the ' Extended Version'.
All U.S. mixes ('Extended Mix' and 'Dub Cosmic Mix') are merely re-edits by The Latin Rascals. Curiously, all U.S. mixes are uncredited in the U.S, but fully credited in the U.K. (although, they changed the names of all U.S. mixes... it's a mess). Therefore the U.S. was re-mixed by The Latin Rascals. Both promo and commercial U.S. vinyl singles feature the U.S. Mix as the B-side, however, the commercial single's back cover makes it appears as if the U.K. Mix is the B-side (it's not). Even though the single's parent album was re-issued recently, it does not feature the U.S. Mix. The U.S. Mix can only be found, as far as I know, here, "Living In Oblivion (The 80's Greatest Hits - Volume 4)": https://www.discogs.com/Various-Living-In-Oblivion-The-80s-Greatest-Hits-Volume-4/release/714320 - https://www.discogs.com/Various-Living-In-Oblivion-The-80s-G reatest-Hits-Volume-4/release/714320 |

I meant to list the U.S. / U.K. mixes:
- The U.K. Mix (4:14) is the original U.K. single version, which also is the Album Version. - The U.S. Mix (4:39) is the original U.S. single version. Although uncredited, this is clearly an edit of the Extended Version - The Extended Version (6:28), renamed Long in the U.K., is a re-edit by The Latin Rascals. - The Dub Cosmic Mix (5:42), renamed Longer (!) in the U.K, is a dub by The Latin Rascals. Additional mixes include: - Instrumental (5:30) - Re-Mix (7:39) (by Phil Harding) - Scat Mix (Long) (6:03) - Scat Mix (Short) (5:22), and - 12" Mastermind Mix (6:12) The 'Animal Magic' 2014 2-CD reissue features: The U.K. Mix, Scat (Short), Instrumental, Long, Pete Wilson Mix, and Re-Mix versions of the song. In addition, a mix dubbed "12-Inch Mastermind Mix" first appeared on a 1996 The Blow Monkeys compilation, "For The Record...", this mix had never appeared on any editions of the "Digging Your Scene" single. I'm fairly convinced that the "12-Inch Mastermind Mix" is the same as the 'Scat Mix (Long)'. |

Why are you being incredibly childish and hostile? First you dug a 10-year old thread and replied to that thread for no other reason that it would appear on top of my (newer) thread. That was fine. But then, after you noticed that I have replied to my own thread to add additional information, you went back to my post, quoted and replied to my post, but not before cutting it and pasting it, and then you went back to the original thread from 2009 and chose to paste your reply on the old thread and then click on Post, which makes no sense, since your quote of my original thread does NOT appear on this thread. You did all of that just to make the 2009 thread appear above my (newer) thread. Posts yours make some members post only once every five years. Just WOW. |

Loveland,
Santi 'bumped' this thread to let you know the song was discussed by the late Jim Abbott and others back in 2009. I didn't see him as being 'childish', only helpful. Posts are bumped often around here. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

I have no issues with him bumping it the first time. But, why did he bump it a second time? To me, what he did was childish. I know very well why he did it. But it's fine. |

"I'm fairly convinced that the "12-Inch Mastermind Mix" is
the same as the 'Scat Mix (Long)'.[/QUOTE] They are different mixes. The album was just re-released as a 4 disc set and they are different. and the "Digging Your Remix" version is just an edit of the longer Phil Harding mix. |

So the "Scat Mix (Long)" is included on the new 4-disc-set or not ?
Thanks Adris |

OK. Thanks for the answers.
Does the "Long Scat Mix" appear on YouTube ? I couldn't find it. Or could someone send a rip to me by pm? Thanks Adris |
