![]() ![]() Sometimes the feel and mood are just as important to the creation as a simple chord sequence. Personally, unless some members were missing entirely, I would include all the members more often than not. In general, one could speculate, they were following the Lennon/McCartney stamp with a Jagger/Richards one, regardless of the other bandmates contribution. I have no idea if Keith also had a hand in the lyrics and the singing melody. It can be compared to creating the melody for the lyrics and warrant some songwriting credit. Brian's dulcimer-riff sounds like it's essential to the song, although we don't know what came first - that riff or Mick's vocal melody (it's the same).įor No Expectations, I would rate strumming an A and E chord (with a D thrown in at the end) lower than creating a melodical theme that fits like Brian did with his slide part. Lady Jane could be a "grey area" track, though. On The Last Time, however, it sounds like Keith is following the riff Brian wrote. He is following the chords Keith wrote with his slide guitar. Both US and UK have the same single only version of "Just a Season.There is a difference between laying down a superb guitar track and writing a song. The US stock copies have the unedited album version. The edit is brutal, not exactly hard to spot! The lyrics don't make sense with the missing verses, either.Įnglish stock copies of "Chestnut Mare" have the edited version, which also appears on both the UK and US promos. There's just something a little odd about Roger McGuinn referring to a horse as a "fine lady". I'd be interested to hear this A-side single edit. So, yes (Reginald Fodstain) totally BRUTAL & (RecordDragon) you may be interested.but not in a good way ! Remember buying this single back in the day from my City Centre Co-op & being truly horrified by the edit & promptly returned said copy (not without a huge 'fight' due mainly to the fact that the record sales girl couldn't understand my problem."What's an 'edit' ?). ![]() ![]() There are many singles out there that contain versions of the songs unavailable elsewhere. Personally, I wouldn't have returned this record. Chestnut Mare was the only song on the whole album that actually charted in this country! "Greatest Hit" would be a less misleading title. How many UK charted hits did the Byrds have as compared to the USA?Īnother trivial oddity is the Byrds second greatest hits album, which CBS put out the year after this. RecordDragon: This is the list of Byrds singles which charted in the UK Here it is: Mods, if you considered it to be illegal, be free to delete it. I was trying to suggest that once you're used to the unedited/album version, there's NO WAY you can listen to this ridiculously shortened rendition.Īctually this applies to countless great songs that have been mercilessly butchered for the singles/radio market.įound the UK edit of this song at the internet. This wasn't (isn't ?) a rare single.all UK stock copies are of this edited version. RecordDragon: Think you may have missed the point. Interesting stuff- on a similar Byrds related awful edits related note, the uk demo of No Other by Gene Clark cuts out just as the solo starts to get going.almost feels like a skip, the change in ambience is so brutal There's an Eagles 45 ('Take It to the Limit' or maybe 'Lyin' Eyes') that physically made me gasp when I heard the edit for the first time. I've a Jukebox so regularly buy singles innocently expecting the cut I'm used to on the album. Oh I think we could have an entire thread on bad edits. This Is a similar edit that sounds like a Jump on This. Meanwhile if you cross the 1969 Beatles with the 1970 The Move you get the 1971 The Byrds?Ģ3rd Sep M'Geek. ![]() JohnnyRockola: The full version of the Eagles "Lyin' Eyes" was released on :Īlso many versions on singles were initially exclusive to the single. The single edit has been made to be a higher pitch than the album version. So very pleased to pick up a lovely copy of Untitled at a recent record fair for £3,Chesnut mare in all it's glory! Having picked up the single a while back,the severe edit began to grate after a while,it was a case of "here it comes" ![]()
