| 857.1 | I hate when that happens, I think??? | CYBORG::MORRELL | | Wed Aug 12 1987 11:21 | 20 |

Let me tell you where it (the different version) comes from,
the version on the cd is the vrsion on the original lp the song
comes from (I believe it,s 12x5). The version on the greatest hits
lp is the single version. between the beatles and the stones this
happens all the time. I guess what we all will have to do is buy
the HOT ROCKS series on cd to get the single versions. Also the
two cd's HIGH TIDES and GREEN GRASS , THROUGH THE PAST DARKLY
are both the U.K. issues (even a west german cd) and have the songs
that were issued on the U.K. records.
Great cd's to have though,sound really good,all thier cd's sound
really good and just think you don't have to wait for the next issue
thier all on the market now (except for metamorphosis). And the
first four aren't in mono either.
Sorry for all the typing errors I had to hurry.
"HAPPY" listening

| This change from record to CD also occurred on Fleetwood Mac's TUSK
CD.
The song "Sarah", for which I bought the CD, is 4 minutes shorter
on the CD than the album.
It's a clear case of the CD definitely not being equivalent to the
album. However, the CD is over 60 minutes in length. Perhaps they
shortened it to fit on CD.

| re:.2
Over 60 minutes? It's just shy of the capacity (74 minutes)
of the CD. I'm of two minds on this one. It's nice to have
the thing on only one CD, and they did trim only a couple of
minutes, but they could've picked a "better" song than "Sara"!
I haven't checked, but I'm willing to bet that the CD version
of "Sara" is the 45 rpm version.

I just read note 857.1 and I thought I'd comment on something I
noticed on the "Through the Past Darkly" CD. A friend loaned it
to me to preview, and about half way through the songs, my ears
started registering that something was wrong. So I pulled out my
old, original vinyl copy, and sure enough, my ears were right.
The CD sounded like some of the songs were in mono.
I cued the record to "Honky Tonk Women" and started both versions
at the same time. The difference really jumped out switching back
and forth between them. On the record, the rythmn guitar starts
in the left speaker, the lead guitar joins in on the right, and
Mick starts singing in the middle of your head. On the CD there
was virtually no separation. I found that to be true on 5 of the
11 songs. All the songs from "Between The Buttons" and "Their Satanic
Majesties Request" sounded good. Based on that audition, the only
original studio albums I will purchase are those two. I'm afraid
to buy any of the others and be sadly disappointed.
Is there anyone who owns any of these CDs and has compared them
to the original vinyl versions?

| I might have mentioned this in the RECORDS conference, but I have done some
Stones comparisons, although not necessarily ones you are looking for.
The Hot Rocks CD is different from the remastered vinyl. I believe that the
CD is stereo and that much of the remastered vinyl is not. The remastered
More Hot Rocks vinyl is weird sounding, as was most of the vinyl. The Hot
Rocks CD sounds more like the original vinyl to me than the remastered vinyl.
I am not sure exactly what they did. But I am currently mulling over which
CD's to buy, as well as being depressed at having wasted money of the
remastered vinyl (my originals are probably fourth hand purchases, and are
barely listenable even by my forgiving standards).
