I agree (and actually feel that way about most of the songs on the RPO recording). Though, with "Close to You" and its various remixes, I always, always, always miss the drum re-entry/reprise of the "whaaas" at the end. I fell in love with that version as a kid, and I will love it forevermore. Without that ending, the song is missing its final hook ... or, at least, the part that reeled me in.After hearing the new RPO recordings, the new version of Close To You is my favorite, as it enhances the technical clarity of every aspect while remaining true to the original arrangement.
