Against All Odds Soundtrack/Violet & Blue

KarmaContestant · #1 07-23-2005, 03:47 PM

Does anyone have this? I've been searching for the soundtrack CD for what seems like years....cannot find a copy anywhere. I'd like to get a copy of the version of Violet & Blue that was featured on the soundtrack, since it's different than what was on Enchanted.

I used to have this on cassette, but, alas, I cannot find it either. It's probably somewhere in the basement....in a box, with spiders and such, and I CANNOT go in the basement with the spiders.

There is a download on SLN.info right now that is the unreleased version played in the movie....the sound is okay, better than what was on Uncirculated Rumours.

Anyhow, if anyone can e-mail the soundtrack version sourced from CD, or wants to post it with You Send It, please do!

It is? To my ears, it's the exact same version -- and I'm usually pretty good at noticing different mixes.

It's been so long since I've heard it. I recall some extra piano at the end, and if I remember correctly, the mixing of the vocal is different.

Both SaraRhiannon (of the Stevie Nicks Underground) and Jennifer (of Three Birds Of Rhiannon) also list the soundtrack version as being different from what is on Enchanted - and 20 seconds shorter as well.

Hmm... I don't recall ever noticing a difference. But when I get a chance, I'll pull out those two versions and compare them.

I'm on dial-up, but if they are definitely different, I can probably do one of those "YouSendIt" dealies so that you and anyone else who wants it, can download it.

I never considered this before, but it may be possible that the LP and cassette copies of the soundtrack have a different version than the CD. Perhaps what is on the CD is the same as Enchanted....with the 'alternate version' being on the other two formats?

That would be great if possible, thank you for checking into it.

There are few different mixes, though I believe only one is commercially available. I'm pretty sure the version found on the Against All Odds soundtrack vinyl/tape/CD is the same mix found on Enchanted, except for the remastering done on the latter. Maybe that's why they sound different

The vocal and instrumentation are the same on both versions.

A remix of Violet and Blue done by Chris Lord-Alge, who reconstructed most of the original mixes for TimeSpace, was serviced for that collection, but it was not used. A decent copy of the remix surfaced later on the notorious master reels. The main differences can be heard in the drums and piano, which are brought forth in the mix.

A third mix of the song with an entirely different, less-polished vocal began circulating years ago, after the Against All Odds soundtrack was released. This version was rumored to have been used for the actual film (during the nightclub scene).

Yeah, I've got the master remix, but I also have one that runs 4:43...different from both Enchanted, the master reels, and the alternate from Uncirculated Rumours. It came off of a CD called 'Wild Heart Dmeos #2', and Three Birds of Rhiannon lists it as the version from the soundtrack....quality is pretty bad.....upon closer listen it is merely an edit with a fade of the version you posted the link to. I guess I'll have to dig out that cassette copy of the soundtrack and find out once and for all.

Anyhow, maybe I'm on a wild goose chase here.

Alright, I gave in and just bought one off of ebay. I buy far too much off of ebay already, but one more item won't hurt, I guess.

When this comes in the mail, I'll post the song if it indeed proves to be any different.

Ooh... I've never heard that version.

Where's that eyelash-batting emoticon when I need it?

I have the soundtrack. I'll compare it to Enchanted right now.

I'll send it, if you'd like. It's not too different, really, just a bit more going on musically.

I'd love to hear it, as long as you're sure you don't mind.

That was my thought exactly.

I have the Again All Odds Cd and album, and just listened and I really did not ANY difference between the AAO version and the Enchanted version -- OTHER than the fact that the Enchanted version had been remastered (not remixed) and sounded much cleaner and crisper than the AAO Cd version. Otherwise, to my ears, it's the same song, mix and version.
