It's great to listen to the Phil Harding remix of Always on my mind on vinyl but anyone know of a CD format? Further more who has access to the instumental version done by Julian Mendlesohn?

A check of the discography at www.psb-discography.com will provide definitive answers. Off the top of my head, the Always on my mind Hardling remix is on two quite rare official CDs -- a U.S. promo and an old, 80s-era multi-artist remix collection (and a German collection, at that? I don't quite recall.) It's also on one of the Aurally bootleg CDs.

Always on my mind instrumental is only on the U.S. vinyl promo, so far as I know. It is what it says on the tin -- the 7" without the vox.

Though it isnt a complete instrumental. There are some vocals on there.

There is another mix of Always On My Mind, isn't there? Remember that Elvis Special on ITV, I think it was? Where the Pet Shop Boys performed said tune, well am I right or wrong in thinking that was a unique mix of the song?

Damn those Japneses, and the great releases they get

What's actually the difference between the "love me tender" and the "instrumental" versions? Last time I checked they sounded pretty much the same to me

I thought the love me tender version was the same as the demo version found on Acrually/ further listening

Crap, am I mixing everything up now? The demo version as in the one on the Japanese 7"? I don't know myself anymore why I bother - I've had to hear "Always on my mind" way too many times already

Going by the YouTube video, in the Love Me Tender thread, then answer to your question is yes.

The 'Love me tender' version from the Jap 7" isn´t instrumental, it has full vocals and yes, I'm almost sure it´s the demo from the Actually Further Listening...
The instrumental has no vocals, just a few backing vocals...and it´s ONLY on the 12" promo.
