The only lame-duck in the bunch, is the "Everywhere" remix. I can see why it wasn't released in the states. "Anemic" is a good word for it.

Yeah, don't leave any 12" inchers on a hot porch for fear of it being rendered useless.

I bought the Family Man single used years ago because I incorrectly assumed it was the version with Stevie.

Yeah, that's nothing to write home about. But the other ones are great.

I think it sucks that there isn't a remix for Isn't It Midnight, that would've ROCKED.

I would adore Caroline if it weren't for the terrible lyrics. It's such a shame because the music is great, but the lazy rhyming just spoils it for me.
Lindsey has really improved since then in the lyrics department.

I see nothing wrong with the lrics to Caroline or Family Man.

Track a 12" incher through the fog, the sun is burning it.

I've always wondered if there really is a longer version of the mix on 'The Chain' boxed-set, which is listed as an "edited alternate mix."
You'd think that it would have surfaced by now, if it existed.

That song was the perfect candidate for a great, lengthy tour de force club remix.

Have you ever heard the demo for it? I donwloaded a few months ago and I kinda dug it.

Hmm... I probably have, but I can't remember exactly.
I need to check.

It's funny because, as much as I love 'Tango,' some of Christine & Lindsey's songs in their "work-in-progress" state were pretty lame.

To the WTTRS topic: of course the song is not one of the outstanding good ones from TITN. But: in comparison to something like Silver girl it is not that bad. In fact I like it not because of the songwriting but because of the Lindsey singing part and exactly for that reason I like the ending of WISYA.

Caroline is a great song, his voice sounds cool and it was one of the reasons I got a fan back then. And the vocals- well english is not my first language so that is not my main interest in the beginning. The music is my main interest. Otherwise I wouldn`t listen to some of Stevies stuff I guess.

Family man has this silly cheap sounding synth on it. Unfortunately he re-cycled that on Soul drifter which makes this good song sound a little cheap... It would be interesting to get to know what those two would sound like nowadays!
