Feargal Sharkey - "Listen To Your Father"!! That's the single-only release he did with Madness and I don't think it's ever been released on CD. Sold!

[Sean]

When they say "edit", I wonder if it's an official edit version or if it's an album version and they turned the audio down at a certain point to make it shorter? Sometimes, 7" or radio versions are pretty cool cause they sound different or richer than the album versions.

[discoginfo]

This is why record companies should be careful about what they call a version. An "edit" is technically when you change the duration of an existing song (usually to make it shorter, but sometimes longer).

If a song simply fades out before it comes to its end (like it does on the album, that's not an "edit", it's a "fade-out", at least in my universe.

A "single mix" is when it *sounds* (more or less) different, meaning some sounds are made louder and/or some sounds are added, for example extra rhythm.

A "Remix" means the version sounds different AND is released AFTER the "original". Thus, a single that comes out before the album is not a "remix" but a "single mix" (unless the single mix was created after the album mix but released before).

However, when someone else creates a new version of the music (not the vocals though) from scratch (common these days) it's not technically a "Remix" but a "Re-Recording", since usually none of the original sounds are used.

A "Cover version" is same as "Re-recording" but the vocals are also re-recorded. Confused yet?

Thus, if a record company wants to play it safe, they should call it "Single Version". That covers anything and everything.

I will make a separate posting about this, too, btw.
