February 1981: "The album is being mixed as this is being written."
There is what I'd call good mastering on the EMI LP and CD. Neither is maximized at all, so they sound pretty good.
For another good-sounding transfer of "(Want You) Back In My Life Again", check out either the purple CLASSICS VOL. 2, or the ice-blue YESTERDAY ONCE MORE (85).
This song would make for a heck of a remix!
I definitely agree with that. It’s strange that, with the exception of Those Good Old Dreams, which had that synth removed from the end, Richard has never subjected a single track from this album to any kind of remix.
It is amusing that Tony Peluso is featured in the music videos of
Those Good Old Dreams (the official promo and the "yellow brick road" version).
However, he is nowhere credited on MIA LP as performing guitar work on this song !
^^I am unable to locate Tony Peluso's name with credit on Those Good Old Dreams
under the Liner Notes of The Essential Collection....
^^I double-checked my copy, Those Good Old Dreams (Essential Collection):
Credits.....
Guitars: Tim May
Pedal-Steel Guitar: Jay Dee Maness
Oh well, back to Carpenters University for me !!!
According to From The Top both May and Peluso also did guitars on Touch Me When We're Dancing. In the 1998 HDCD MIA booklet its clarified as Acoustic & Electric for both. (Want You) Back In My Life Again has May on Acoustic & Electric and Peluso on just electric; When You've Got What it Takes May-Acoustic, Peluso-Electric.I do apologise Gary. . .and for me to get something wrong about one of my favourite tracks. I don't know where my head was. . .you're absolutely right, he didn't play on that track. My only thinking is that I was looking at Strength of a Woman where both he and May played electric guitar.
