Single version of "Silver Springs"

[brad975]

I've never heard the original vinyl version. But I do know the ones on the Chain box set and The Very Best Of, and I'm not wild about the remix on the latter.

It's like they took one of her multi-tracked harmonies and elevated it to lead vocal. But only there's a little mistake. Not apparent on the Chain version when it was more buried, in one instance, it sounds like she sings, "They'll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you." Who the Hell is they?

I don't think "remastering" is meant to involve major remixing, but whatever. I kind of think of it like George Lucas radically retinkering with another 1977 masterpiece, Star Wars. Leave it alone. You got it right the first time.
