All of these updates were done last fall before the release of the album.Thanks John! Do you have any idea when he’ll be done with these updates and if the physical media will be re-released with updated versions?
I wonder how the RPO players would feel knowing their contributions have been deleted and replaced. It all seems a bit unnecessary to me.
Richard should have just left the original released version out there, and then tweaked if for a year, and then come out with Carpenters with RPO: The Remixed Version and everybody would have happily bought it again. Now, he's just irritating everybody.
Wow your right. I just heard the updated mix and sure enough Richard changed the lyric on I Believe You.Just redownloaded this on iTunes today. So far it seems like every song has some kind of update or enhancement. Including...the original lyric for “I Believe You” has been restored (“when you say that everytime that we make love” as on the original single and MIA album version, not “when you tell me every time that we make love” as in the alternate take on previous versions.) To me this is almost like listening to an entirely new album.
I agree with John above that it’s kinda exciting to see what’s being changed but at the same time it’s flustering deciphering which one is suppose to be the correct one.
Deadlines are what they are but this is just silly at this point.
John E. can probably clarify it, but I doubt any more sessions were done after the album was first completed. What may be happening is, Richard is substituting different "takes" of the existing sessions.And who’s paying for these additional sessions now that the album is already released?
The FAWK interlude now features English horn, clarinet and a touch of strings in addition to the original piano and guitar.
I also believe the IJFILA interlude has been rerecorded. The tempo appears to be slower and this version is now enhanced with harp and string embellishments. I also noticed that a few things were absent from the new version including the guitar, a rustling noise that appeared at the beginning of the first pressing track and Richard's piano part has now been redone to remove the little grace note that originally appeared when the piano theme was repeated on the first pressing of this song.
I hope this makes sense.
For reference:
IJFILA has a running time of 5:14 on the updated iTunes version
IJFILA has a running time of 5:01 on the CD versions (Target & Japan)
