Title: Summer Love Songs - is the error the same?
Post by: The Shift on June 01, 2009, 04:16:50 AM
Just plugged in my copy of Summer Love Songs (ANdrew, must have been me who bought Amazon.uk's other copy!) and found that tracks (1) Don't Worry Baby and (2) Why Do Fools Fall in Love are misnamed in the digital tracklist that shows up in iTunes; ie, they're the wrong way round!

The intro strings added to Fallin' In Love sound wrong to me.  Was that section simply flown in, or is it as Dennis might have intended?

And I'll always, I suspect, regard the original mix of Time to Get Alone as definitive. I've heard a few and reckon the 20/20 mix is best.

Just thoughts...

For me, the Hawthorne version of Time to Get Alone easily trumps the 20/20 version.   I like the stereo version as well but it yielded nothing significant over the original.  Something gets lost in the translation.  The Hawthorne version, with the horns and the a cappella fade, is amongst my absolute favorite BB tunes.  It has an airyness to it and it glides along effortlessly.

I had the same experience with iTunes. I corrected the names in the playlist and resubmitted it to the database. Guess there's something that overrides submitting corrections from non-official sources.

I have to agree with this.  Now, whenever I hear the 20/20 version, it just doesn't sound 'right' to me.

I think that Alan Boyd said that he and Linett had been making a safety copy of the string
track for Fallin' in Love and decided to add a sample of it to the beginning of the song to
highlight it.

I agree with some others about the Hawthorne version of TTGA being superior. I think Boyd
mixed in the acappela section during the fade but it's SOOO beautiful (wish it went on longer!) and the vocal and unenhanced production are relaxed and gorgeous. The similar acappela section during the alternate version of The Little Girl I Once Knew on disc 1 of Hawthorne was apparently part of the original mix.

Yup, my CD has the first two tracks screwed up. I hope someone makes an edit of the first half of the Fallin' in Love single with the second half of the remix. Both of the new TTGA sound off to me.
