So as not to threadjack the "No Time" thread.

Sweet Mary (Wadsworth Mansion)
Dead Man's Curve
Thinking Of You (Loggins and Messina)


Add to that:
Sounds of Silence--Simon & Garfunkel
Foolish Games & You Were Meant For Me--Jewel

was "All Right Now"--Free a different recording for the single or just dramatically remixed?

It could also be argued that many ABC/Dunhill singles from the late 60s/early 70s could fall under this umbrella as well since they were noticeably different in mix and sometimes vocals from the album versions (though in those cases often the single came first)

To Hykker:

The 45 of "All Right Now" was, as you put it, 'dramatically remixed'.

Rhythm guitars were rerecorded with more crunch (& more notes).

Cowbell replaced a temple block.

Much of the origanal track, including lead vocal & guitar solo, remained on the 45. It's just hard to tell because the new mix/edit was really superior as far as punch-on-the-radio goes.

Wasn't the 45 of Booker T. & The M.G.'s "Time Is Tight" a completely different recording from the LP version?

I suppose we could also count "Revolution" by the Beatles (the B-side of "Hey Jude" drastically different from the recording on The White Album).

Whitesnake "Here I Go Again" 45 rpm disc was a re-recorded session.

Not exactly on-topic, but the video version of Billy Joel's "Still Rock and Roll To Me" contained a re-recorded vocal track.

Wow! I had no idea about that one. I guess you learn something new every day!

And I really wonder why they went to such trouble back in 1980 - such as why not just lip sync to what the record already had?

Can that video mix be found on cd easily?
Live in stereo.

Could this be a case where the wrong audio tape was supplied for the video editors? Or was the song not fully completed when the video was shot?

RICK SPRINGFIELD - "Speak to the Sky" (1972)

RS originally recorded an electric version of the song in 1971 in his native Australia; that was the version that became the hit there. On the success of that song Down Under, Capitol signed him to a U.S. deal shortly thereafter, and the label had him re-record the song acoustically, which was the version that became a hit in this country in the summer/fall of '72 (and was featured on his debut solo album, "Beginnings")...

Hmmm, interesting. While I've since become quite familiar w/ that 1980 video over the last 10 years thanks to VH-1 Classic, I honestly hadn't noticed that the vocals were re-recorded...

And speaking of which, is it me, or is it also the same situation w/ the video for Neil Diamond's 1982 hit, "Heartlight"??? Our cable company in San Diego didn't start carrying MTV until 1984, so like w/ the video for "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me", I never even knew there was also one for "Heartlight" until I first saw it on VH-1 Classic starting about 10 years ago. They still air it fairly regularly to this day; for those not familiar w/ it, Neil walks into an empty theater-type setting, steps up behind a podium (complete w/ a scarf around his neck), and proceeds to sing the song all the way through. I must confess, I've never been a huge ND fan, as he's one of those artists who's always been hit-or-miss w/ me (enjoy some of his songs, like "Heartlight", while other hits of his make me cringe), but can anyone confirm if that video version is also a different vocal recording from the 45/LP, or is it just my mind/memory playing tricks on me???
