I wasn't aware there was an A/C mix promo 45 in addition to
the remix promo 45. Can anyone verify if the A/C mix is significantly different than the remix version? ------------- Rick |

From memory yes it is. I don't have my copy to hand but will check for you in a few days. EDIT - Strike that, someone has already put it up on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU06lAR9yaA |

Can anyone give a quick synopsis of the differences between
the 'remix' and the 'A/C Mix'? Thanks! Andy |

They are incredibly similar to my ears. Granted, I'm comparing a CD copy of the common "Remix" to the Youtube file, so there's going to a
bit of inherent difference in the audio presentation that it's hard to really solve for. I haven't detected anything so far like instruments being deleted out of the A/C mix (before listening, I had thought theorized to myself that there might be a different guitar solo or something). If there's a difference, it's truly just in the way it's mixed. It seems like the drums may be mixed barely lower or with just slightly less attack, in the A/C mix, any maybe the keyboard pad is touch louder in the A/C Mix. But again, I could just be hearing the "way it sounds" from vinyl, through the Youtube poster's setup. The A/C Mix just isn't as different to the regular Remix as I had expected. But that's just my opinion. Maybe someone more familiar with the song will key in on something that I haven't noticed yet. |

I compared a dub of Chuck's promo 45 to the Remix on CD, and I also didn't hear any notable differences between the two. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Was this a ploy by the record company to get spins on A/C
stations? ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

The promo 45 says (Remix) just below the run time, as well as [AC Mix] at
the bottom of the label. Seems like the latter was to clarify that the “Remix” intended for AC. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Thanks for all the information people!
I immediately noticed the sound difference between the LP mix and the "(remix)" - but I couldn't really tell the difference between the "(remix)" and the "(remix) A/C mix". I know the remix(es) are by Bob Rock, but I believe the original LP version was mixed by him too. Andy |

I'm still a bit confused. Are you saying on one side of the 45 it says both "Remix" and "AC Mix" on the label, and therefore, they are one and the same? |

The label of my promo 45 (PRO-S-3078) has a time of 3.54 printed on both sides with (Remix) printed underneath. Under the song title it reads A/C Mix. On my other promo 45 (7-27986-A) the printed time reads 3.53 on both sides with (Remix) underneath. There is no mention of A/C Mix on the label. |

That is correct. You can see a picture of it on Discogs:

Thanks Aaron. I have the remix on an import We All Sleep Alone CD single.
Though the remix must have been available in the US, I guess the first time I came across it was this import. So I have it - though it mentions nothing of an AC mix. So I'm glad to learn I already have that, too! I took a look at pic you linked to on Discogs. Usually when 2 mixes are listed on a single (be it CD, maxi, whatever), it refers to 2 different mixes. This is the only time in my recollection that 2 mixes were listed on a single, and it was referring to just ONE version. lol. |

Yeah, I think in this case it was more to point out to AC programmers that the song was intended for them. So, yes, it was the same "Remix" sent to CHR, but Geffen also said "Hey! Look! AC programmers, this one is for you." ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
