The Who "Love is Coming Down"

Postby Xenu » Sat Dec 27, 2003 1:58 am

So I just ABed the Mofi versus the Polydor, and sure enough they're different. Should I throw up two MP3s for comparison against the MCA, Luke?

Well, I have the MoFi, so...

For those who don't know what David is talking about, the intros on the MCA and MoFi CDs are different mixes. The rest of the song would seem to be the same mix.

Did you notice anything else having different mixes? Where could this've COME from?
I've uploaded an MP3 fragment at:

That's the Polydor. Howzzit compare to the MCA?

I'll check later, but...no, I didn't notice anything else different, and I have no idea where that bit could have come from.

So, I listened. Haven't compared to the MCA, but I'd say I still prefer the MoFi. It seems slightly more "open". Not sure why Fang thinks the Polydor is (so much) better than the MoFi...
