Yes, it's only on import right now -- A remixed version of Let Them All Talk
with a B-side the ``Flirting Kind'' -- that's pretty good, too. At this
rate, EC will have to coming out with Taking Liberties, Vol. II.
Note that CBS has for American release ``Everyday I Write the Book,'' with
two non-LP trax on the flip. The A-side is extended, and also has an
instrumental. It was engineered by famed New York mixmaster John
``Jellybean'' Benitez, who has also mutated singles by the T-Heads, Planet
Patrol, Afrika Bambaata, and New Order. His remixes tend to be more
interesting (shorter, too) than the ``generic'' ones usually found
on 12-inch singles. Most extended versions tend to go on MUCH TOO LONG and
don't bother to alter the instrumental balance or highlight the ``hooks.''
Another ``remixer'' worth looking for is Francios Kevorkian, who made
``Situation'' by Yaz sound better than the original (actually, it's shorter
that the original !) LP version. He also did ``Two Hearts'' and ``New
Year's Day'' by U2 on a British Island 12" disk.
