Title: Re: Somewhere Near Japan Post by: virsago on June 30, 2012, 10:53:30 PM Is there any legal way to hear the single mix in acceptable quality? I don't think it's on YouTube or Spotify.

I purchased the casette single (hey, it was 1989) when it came out. It was the same mix as the album version. Very disapointing. The only time I have heard the "single" mix is on the video.

Having listened to both, I definitely prefer the album mix, but only because I'm a sucker for 12-string guitars. Al's verse at the end sounds kind of overly processed too, though. |
