"Before" remixers confusion....

#1 Post by Oznerol »

Maybe this was discussed/mentioned before, but if that´s the case, I missed the conversation!
Trying to make some order on my digital collection, and deleting duplicates, I found that many mixes of "Before", like the:

Extended mix 8:47
Hed Boy mix 7:35
Hed Boys dub 4:55

..are credited as being remixed by the "Hed Boys" (who are, according to Discogs, Andrew "Doc" Livingstone and Dave Lee) on some releases, but also credited as being made my "Joey Negro" in others. Even on 3X12" UK released the extended mix is labeled as "Joey Negro Extended Mix" and on the US releases the Head Boys mixes as "Joey Negro's Hed Boys Mix" and "Joey Negro's Before Dub"
So..I´m confused!
Anybody here knows the answer? maybe they weere remixed by both, the Hed Boys AND Joey Negro? or there is a big mistake on some credits and mix names??

Thanks for the clarification!!! It seems that if the other goy was involved or it was just a Joey Negro/Dave Lee work depends on the release, haha!

They also mislabelled the Classic Paradise Mix as "Danny Tenaglia Classic Paradise Mix" on the PopArt Mix CD.

Don’t forget this LTI Mix. It’s different to the one from the US Promo CD.

Exclusive to this CD:
https://www.discogs.com/release/1987002 ... ssic-Mixes

Btw, this CD has also the “Saturday Night Forever” Mix.

Just got my copy, and indeed it is a very nice exclusive mix of BEFORE :mrgreen:

I like how it starts with piano and chorus only

And this is precisely why any singles reissues should contain all official released (and to generate sales, unreleased) mixes. Fragmentation to exclusive download services or via extremely obscure promos is a real and expensive PITA

This list does NOT include the exclusive Love To Infinity remix that is avaiable here: https://www.discogs.com/release/1987002 ... ssic-Mixes

Indeed, you could argue if such a remix is to be considered 100% official, as it is not published on any PSB release...

I've found this to be the case with some PSB songs, not to mention other bands that I collect where an official remix is done, but never put out commercially.....it usually "leaks" out at some point.
