>>I bought the Mind the Gap CD a while ago in a used CD store in Philly
because I heard on the mailing list that the songs were different versions
of the originals on MLL's albums.  After listening to the songs, I couldn't
find any differences.  The credits even lead you to believe they were taken
straight from their original albums so I don't think the songs are different
from the album versions.<<

SOME JINGLE JANGLE MORNING, on Mind The Gap, is an alternate mix from the
final version on GNS.  Compare them at high volume and you'll hear lots of
compression (a kind of "sucking" effect) on the MTG version.  I find the GNS
version much more listenable.

Why the difference? MLL wasn't happy with the drum sound on the first mix of
JINGLE JANGLE - specifically, she thought the drums were too "boomy" and that
the snare wasn't bright enough. "This isn't a DANCE record!" she said.
Another producer was brought in to try new mixes, and one of the attempted
fixes was compression.  I don't claim to be the ultimate insider, but Mary Lou
DID play me her personal rough cassette with SIX different mixes of JINGLE
JANGLE on it (one of them was a "clean" radio version) shortly after they were
made.
