Title: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: mrralan on October 15, 2012, 02:25:44 PM What's the difference here? I hear a speed difference but is there something else?

Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: mrralan on October 15, 2012, 02:35:47 PM How about Rock And Roll Music and Susie Cincinnati? I'm comparing 15 Big Ones to Best Of The Brother Years and I can't hear the changes in the single versions.
Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: Jason on October 15, 2012, 02:54:32 PM How about Rock And Roll Music and Susie Cincinnati? I'm comparing 15 Big Ones to Best Of The Brother Years and I can't hear the changes in the single versions. The single mix of Rock and Roll Music hasn't been reissued for years; it's currently heavily damaged. Compilations since have used the album version. I recall from an original 1976 Brother/Reprise 45 that the single sounded a LOT brighter than the album version. There's also an unreleased "hot mix" with some extra instrumentation and the excised third verse. Susie Cincinnati is...a bit hairier. There are five different mixes of this track - the original 1970 B-side for Add Some Music To Your Day, the promo mix with engine sound effects, the 1974 B-side for Child of Winter, and the 1976 A-side and album version. Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: runnersdialzero on October 15, 2012, 03:19:33 PM I feel like I read that the mix of "Rock And Roll Music" on the Greatest Hits, Vol. 3: Best Of The Brother Years 1970-1986 was the single mix?

Yea, I just bought that CD. The notes say it's an alternate version of the track from 15 Big Ones...Original Single Version. They say the same thing for Susie Cincinnatti.

Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: Eric Aniversario on October 15, 2012, 06:55:40 PM I've always liked the single version of It's OK and RARM way way better...
Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: MBE on October 15, 2012, 08:04:27 PM The vinyl Ten Years Of Harmony is the best way to hear the single mixes. That album sounds terrific period.
Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: halblaineisgood on October 15, 2012, 08:13:52 PM The It's O.K. single rocks pretty hard. I can see why it was a hit.
I don't care for the 45 of RARM. The album version sounds more like a hit. On the 45, it's like they sucked out all the wall of sound. It's just not as fun. I did hear the album version first, though. That's probably why I prefer it.

That album sounds terrific period. +1.But be sure to source a US pressing - the Oz cut sounds a gen or 2 removed, imo Title: Re: It's O.K. - album vs. single Post by: Alan Smith on October 15, 2012, 11:37:50 PM And check out this post'n'thread:
