Title: Gershwin - Original Mix Post by: Outtasight! on July 12, 2012, 05:53:40 AM I understand that Brian's original mix is not markedly different from that of Al Schmitt. Has anyone heard the original mix and if so are there any significant differences? As I think that this album is one of Brians crowning achievements I would love to get my ears round his mix.

But yeah, otherwise he was mainly hired because Disney thought it would gain Grammy attention. It didn't.

It should have though. In my opinion at least. Great album. Title: Re: Gershwin - Original Mix Post by: Amy B. on July 13, 2012, 12:45:46 PM I think the Grammy people start by seeing whether Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt, and a few others made an album that year. If so, automatic nomination. Then there are a few slots reserved for newcomers. Certain people get completely ignored for excellent work and it's as if they don't exist.
