Better Than Ezra - Good

   No endless parade of remixes for this one - just the album version.

The promo CD single (Elektra 9119) is mastered pretty loud, and clips quite a bit.  The version on the Deluxe CD uses the same analog transfer but isn't a digital clone.  Deluxe has excellent levels, and works out to be about 4 

or 5 dB quieter than the promo CD single.

I did notice one tiny difference between the Deluxe version and the promo CD single: The "yeah that's right" in the right channel at the very end of the song is much more pronounced on the promo CD single.  It's down around -40 dB on 

Deluxe, but around -20 dB on the promo CD single.  Even accounting for the 4 or 5 dB level shift between the two, that's a huge boost (or cut, depending on your view of which came first).

I don't know if this is significant enough to warrant a notation in the database; it's barely significant enough to warrant its own thread!
