NOTES :
VOLUME ONE
1. Oh Woman, Oh Why? (B-side)
This is NOT the promo mix. The promo mix was in mono and had no echo on vocals. This is the usual commercial release. The Promo version can be found on Artifacts III (although this is a poor dub and it jumps!) and on “John Paul George Ringo in The 1970s” (Melvin Records) as well as on the original Promo single from the US (Apple PRO 6194).
If anyone has either the Melvin bootleg or the Apple promo can they please post it and we’ll put the correct version into “New Moon”
2. Letting Go (single mix)
When it came to release Letting Go as a single, Paul got Alan Parsons to edit and remix the album version. Subsequently, the single version starts with an organ glissando has an edited introduction and fades earlier than the album version in addition to having a punchier mix.
3. Beware My Love (Out-Fake - album version faded in later to approximate but not equal the single release)
Out-fake constructed from album version (you can still hear the organ in intro not on single version). When released as the B-side to Let’Em In the organ coda found at the beginning of the album version was omitted since this was crossfaded with the start of the guitar on the album, on this, the single version the guitar is faded in later.
4. Girl’s School (B-side) NOT the promo edit.
The usual release found on the flip of Mull of Kintyre and also on the 1993 CD issue of London Town. The promo DJ edit WAS available as a bonus track on the 1989 UK CD issue.
5. Take It Away (Out-Fake)
Out-fake constructed from album version. (The opening drum has been edited). The fade is the same as the album version whilst on the single the horns only repeated the phrase twice and not three time. A similar out-fake (called the Extended Version) was available on Suitable For Framing bootleg LP. The proper single edit was available also on Wingspan.
6. The Girl Is Mine (Promo Edit)
From the US promo 45 (Epic 34-03288). Edits out the “talking” part (but is not a straightforward cut). Fade out is slightly longer than the commercial release.
7. Ode To A Koala Bear (Australian Mix ?)
The original posting had a glitch. Was re-posted by myself from Yellow Dog’s Oobu Joobu Volume 16 (where it was a bonus track), on which CD was stated that this mix was available only in Australia on a 12” single (not confirmed). Who knows if this is true? It certainly is a different mix, though.
8. No More Lonely Night (7” Special Dance Mix by Arthur Baker)
Originally issued on the second issue of the 7” single (both in UK and US) and later available as a bonus track on the 1992 UK issue of Give My Regards To Broadstreet CD.
9. No More Lonely Night (Extended Version)
Originally available on the 1st 12” single (both UK & US) and later available as a bonus track on the 1992 UK issue of Give My Regards To Broadstreet CD.
10. No More Lonely Night (Extended Playout Version)
Issued as the 2nd 12” single (both UK & US) this is the Arthur Baker 12” Special Dance Mix. Never commercially released on CD
11. No More Lonely Night (Mole Mix)
12” Promo release only. Never officially released on CD.
12. Spies Like Us (Alternative Mix-Known To His Friends as “Tom”)
From the UK 12” single
13. Spies Like Us (DJ version)
The DJ edit was an identical mix to the usual single release but faded out about 1 minute earlier. Released officially on the usual (not promo), 12” release (UK & US) which was issued the same day as the single.
14. Spies Like Us (Party Mix)
From the UK & US 12” single.
VOLUME 2
1. Say, Say, Say (12” John ‘Jellybean’ Benitez Mix)
This version, along with a 7 minute instrumental version, were issued in the UK and the US on a 12” single. Never officially released on CD.
2. Do They Know It’s Christmas (12” Remix)
Paul had originally taped a spoken message. On the 7” version, Paul’s message (along with lots of others) was used for the B –side over an instrumental version of the track – the whole thing called “Feed The World”. The messages were also used in the mix of the A-side song on the 12” version (UK & US).
3. My Carnival (Party Mix)
Recorded in 1975 (with many overdubs later), it was officially released 10 years later as the B-side to “Spies Like Us”. The 12” version was a mix done by Gary Langan called the “Party Mix”. Never officially released on CD.
4. Press (“Video Edit”)
The story of the “Press” remixes is a convoluted one not just because of the number or versions available (6 official and 1 on bootleg) but because label timing and details are often wrong. All US vinyl albums of Press To Play, the CD releases and the original UK vinyl album had the standard Bert Bevans and Steve Forward mix. The “Video Edit” chops out 3 segments from this standard version to end up with a version of 3’35”. Was available on a European compilation CD at one time.
5. Press (Hugh Padham mix)
There are 2 versions of this mix available : the longer one from the 10” UK release (and the 2nd UK album pressing) and the shorter version (fades out earlier) from the 1st issue UK 7”. The version here is the longer one.
6. Press (Video Soundtrack)
Although the 2nd issue of the UK 12” stated on the cover that it was the “Video Soundtrack”, in fact the track on the record was the standard one. In fact the only difference between the 1st issue and 2nd issue 12” (UK) is the cover. So this track is the same as the one found on the “Press To Play” CD – though here it fades a little earlier to avoid the surface noise of the 12”.
7. Press (12” Dub Mix)
A second mix by Bevans and Forward available as an extra track on the 12” issues. Mostly instrumental.
8. Pretty Little Head (7” Mix)
Remix by Larry Alexander. Available on UK 7” single and on US Promo (SPRO 9928). On the latter it was called the “Rock Radio Remix”.
9. Pretty Little Head (12” Extended version)
John “Tokes” Potoker remix from UK 12” single. At the wrong speed on “New Moon” – runs too fast so that although the whole of the 6’56” are on the track plays it all in 6’44”.
10. Angry (12” Remix)
From the b-side of the 12” UK issue of “Pretty Little Head”. Also on B-side of “Stranglehold” US single and on promo. On the later it was called the “Rock Radio Remix”.
11. Seaside Woman (1986 Remix)
From the 7” issue in 1986
12. B-Side To Seaside (1986 Remix)
From the 7” issue in 1986
13. Seaside Woman (1986 Extended Remix)
From the 12” issue in 1986
14. B-Side To Seaside (1986 Extended Remix)
From the 12” issue in 1986
15. Only Love Remain (7” Remix)
From the 12” UK release. The album version with new overdubs (saxophone & keyboards).
VOLUME 3
1 Talk More Talk (12” Remix)
The B-side of the UK 12” single of “Only Love Remains”. Note that on “New Moon” it fades in late (about 4 seconds) and fades out early too.
2 Tough On A Tightrope (Remix by Julian Mendelsohn)
Also on the B-side of the UK 12” single of “Only Love Remains”. Fades in slightly late which is not surprising since the single fades in quietly and hence you get surface noise. Additionally prior to being including on “New Moon” this track has been sonically adjusted (more top and less mid range and bass) to give a more “trebley” effect.
3 Let It Be – Ferry Aid
Paul’s vocals are lifted from the Beatles version. This is the 7” version
4 Let It Be – Ferry Aid
This is the 12” A-side. A
5 Let It Be – Ferry Aid
This is the 12” B-side
6 Ferry ‘Cross The Mersey
Another charity single to which Paul contributed vocals.
7 Good Sign (Groove Mix)
Although Good Sign appeared on the B-Side of the 2nd issued (UK) of “This One”, a special Groove Mix was issued as the B-side to a promo 12” – this is it. (The a-side being the commercial version).
8 Figure of Eight (CD Single version)
When issued as a single lots of overdubs were made on the album version with Paul’s new touring band. Although the version on New Moon is listed as the 7” version – it isn’t! There are 2 version of the re-recording. One version is 5’11” long and appears on the 7”, all 12” issues and on the 3” CD single. However the version that is presented on “New Moon” is the 4 minute edit which appears on the 5” CD single.
9 Ou Est Le Soleil – Shep Pettibone Edit
There are 8 different version of “Ou Est Le Soleil”. “New Moon” presents 6 of them. The original version was a bonus track on the “Flowers In The Dirt” CD. The 7" mix (see 10 below) was faded early (at 4’13”) and called the “Shep Pettibone Edit” on Capitol promo CD (DPRO 79836) and it is this short version that is this track
10 Ou Est Le Soleil – 7” mix
The 7” mix is 4’50”. From the 3” CD UK issue of “Figure of Eight” and from the double CD version of “Flowers In The Dirt” (Japan)
11 Ou Est Le Soleil – Tub Dub Mix
From the B-side of the 12” single (US and various European countries). Also on promo CD sample (US) and as the B-side of the 2nd 12” single of “Figure of Eight” (UK).
12 Ou Est Le Soleil – Instrumental Version
From the B-side of the 12” single (US and various European countries)
13 Ou Est Le Soleil – Shep Pettibone Mix
