Missing Tracks On Some Versions Of Bm

[Guest jsunC]

Yeh i just realized about 1 month ago, that on my version of Beautiful Midnight that i was missing 2 songs. (Going All the Way & Let's Get it On) I have those songs now, but was just wondering if anyone knew the reason why these songs werent on some copies of BM. pCeeee

[saturnine]

it's the US version

[Dan #2]

Can you buy the US version here?

 

i bought mine off of ebay, from some sucka mc in new york.

[saturnine]

probably not

[Dan #3]

I got my US version at HMV in Toronto.

[Guest jjazz]

Same here. I don't see them as much as I used to, though.

[rabbit_hunter]

Mine has them. I've never seen one without it, but then again I don't make a habit of looking at the tracks every time i go to the music store and see the album:p

Every copy of BM has those songs except the US version. So if you're not missing them, you don't have the US version.

 

The US version has remixes of "Deep Six" (labelled "Deep 6ix"), "Apparitions", and "Everything Is Automatic" in place of "I Miss New Wave", "Let's Get It On", and "Going All the Way". Also, "Hello Time Bomb", "Strange Days", and "Load Me Up" are remixes. All of the remixes were made by Chris Lord-Alge (who mixed Green Day's American Idiot, among many others).

 

In my honest opinion, the remixes are inferior to the originals except "Hello Time Bomb". The remixes are generally more "rock", but Lord-Alge's snare drum sound is muddy and sounds like cardboard. I like certain ideas in the remixes (ie, removing the echoed vocals during the verses of "Load Me Up"), but I think the original mixes (with the exception of HTB) just sound cleaner.

 

There's just something about the original HTB mix that bugs me. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Is it that the Canadian version still has the word Shit in the song?

hehe I love Nelson

The U.S. version still has "shit" in it. The clean version of it probably doesn't.

[Guest jsunC]

it all makes sense, the HMV in my city only has the 'US' version for some odd reason..

[5ilent Narcotic]

awww my mistake then. (referring to the clean version).

whoever ripped it probably just fucked up while creating the ID3 tags. Maybe he got the track data from a site that referenced the US version.

it's not ripped... this is curious

Did you pull the tracklisting through iTunes or Gracenote/CDDB? It may have just pulled the wrong "Beautiful Midnight".

[Dan #3]

Same thing happens to me [in regards to the American Import Tags] but I know what the songs are called just by listening, I don't need a lying sack of crap computer to confuse me over something like that.
