Title: First Love by Mike Love remix question
Post by: thetojo on May 15, 2016, 07:11:38 PM
I never know if my questions warrant a separate topic or should be in the "insignificant questions" thread - anyway, I always just post to a new thread, since that way I figure more people are likely to become more informed by reading them, rather than ignoring an "insignificant" one.

With Mike going back to the studio, this got me thinking - so here goes - this 1978 unreleased album was "remixed" and shopped around again a while after initial attempts.

My question is - What were the changes made, and does this result in 2 versions of the album, or really just a couple of tracks that were altered? Who did the remixing, when etc. would also fill in some of the blanks! Ie. any detail in answering is welcome.

Thanks

I can't add much. My recollection is that most (or all?) circulating versions aren't super great sound quality.

I also sense that one version is in much wider circulation than the other; I'm guessing even some hardcore collectors never went out of their way to seek out *two* different versions of "First Love."

I have several mixes of First Love tracks with added instrumental parts, whether these were contemporary (1978) or later (1980s) mixes is anyone's guess.

do you have any versions of Tricia (one of my all-time favorite songs)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC7DyhoDx6s

No kidding, it's on youtube ; D I meant an alternate mix.

No alternate mixes go around as far as I know.
