Brown Eyes: Listed as a different mix on box in discog?

[wetcamelfood]

Per discussion in another thread, this is to decide whether we should list Brown Eyes on the Chain box as including a different mix instead of it being linked to the Tusk version in the Penguin Discogrpahy (as it is now).

We're just looking for votes in this thread but if you feel it should be listed as a different mix please say in this thread how you think it should be listed (i.e. "Alternate Mix" etc.) but please keep it as brief as possible since there's not much room to list such details but we need to put something there so those visiting the page will know why it's separated from the Tusk version.

Naturally, the most votes here wins and I'm not wedded to either outcome but I'd only say that I don't think we should open a can of worms in that there's no point having a database set up there if it gets to the point where people feel every compilation has a "different (something) to each track for a milisecond" then we have none linked together. Please use judgement regarding these kinds of things. Yes, audiophiles probably will notice very small things about each pressing of a particular recording but let's be reasonable about it. Like I said in the other thread, let's determine how many extra/different seconds it has to be to merit it being called a "different mix" or whatever (because rarely, is it always going to match up time wise perfectly due to different pressings being manufactured as slightly different speeds etc.

Thanks in advance for your input.

I know in the other thread the difference was identified as being in the fade in and/or fade out, but I listened to both versions this weekend ("Tusk" and boxset), and I hear a guitar on the boxset version that I do not hear on the Tusk version. Maybe I'm hearing things? Does anyone else hear this?

Anyway, for that reason, I voted "yes", and I would call it an "alternate mix".

(I also hear something different about "Walk A Thin Line", but I can't quite figure out what the difference actually is!)

OK fair enough, we'll have a vote for WATL then too.

I always figured that the additional guitar was Peter Green.

No, his part is right at the end of the Tusk "version". On the Chain box, he just starts when the final fade occurs, so as I say, up to you guys.

Since this ended in a tie, that doesn't show a majority wanting this change so I guess we'll leave it as is. Thanks for your participation.
