I've notice that is some part, there less snare drum (as Mike says in the booklet) and a deeper general feeling of calm and rest. nbtm : I think this question should fit in a Boxed Forum, because there's already a topic about TB on Boxed. -------------- Cheers, GMOVJ [URL=http://tubular.fodplanet.com]http://tubular.fodplanet.com[/URL] - The french speaking mailing list Back to top

The glockenspiel and bass guitar in the intro section are both much higher in the original mix. The 'thunderstorm' section is much lower in level on the first LP. The chanted lyrics in part 2 can be heard on the Boxed remix. I guess you could pull out loads more differences... Back to top

Totally inaudible (completely removed) from the boxed mix, I remember Mike Saying that He only put it in because he thought HR was too repetetive. Oh well, I like it Back to top

Where is this snare drum bit? I can only hear a timpani and a gong Back to top

A good way to tell is if the label on the LP is the old virgin label "naked cartoon woman with legs spred in a V fashion" the chances are that it is the remix and thus hasnt got the Snare Drum. -------------- Maker of MOs favourite beverage No trees were harmed in the creation and sending of this message.

SCprogfan Unregistered Posted: July 28 2003, 16:22 So, to clarify-the original mix is the one with the old Virgin/woman logo?  I want to make sure before I buy it.  The front of the record sleeve also has a small picture of that logo.  Is this LP the original mix? Back to top

Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: July 30 2003, 18:12 The label may be a good indication of the mix but if you want more information you can consult Amarok Mailing List FAQ. You will find a lot of information at questions 2.11 and 2.12   Back to top

SCprogfan Unregistered Posted: July 31 2003, 12:05 Thanks for the link, there is a lot of cool info on those pages.  I actually bought the LP a couple of days ago, and it is indeed the original mix.  I stayed up until 4 AM making it into a CD, denoised and all.  I used to own the vinyl several years ago, but I traded it away, and I'm not sure if that one was the original mix or not.  Back then I didn't even know there were two versions!   Back to top
