Heart New CD

[Slander]

I just bought the new Heart CD and like it very much. Does anybody now how Frankie hooked up with them to play guitar on "Nothing At All."

Yeah, but that NAA version released in America was a redone version that removed Frankie's contribution. Irritates me till this day. Lucky I have the original (as Im sure others do too).

Luckily they kept Frankie's work on Nobody Home. Phew!

Lastly, "Never" also was also redone and somehow mixed up the order of lyrics. Why oh why.

Thanks JV. Makes sense now! Guitar is unmistakable.

Slander, so you've got the version where the Wilson sisters do not Ad lib in the beginning right?

Check this out from Wikipedia:


"Nothin' At All" & "Never" both have alternate mixes (as featured on their music videos), and these mixes had also been pressed onto some early release runs of the "Heart" album, beit on LP, CD or cassette.

One may get a copy with both songs in their original mixes; both in their alternate mixes, or only one song in a different mix. Copies with serial No. SL-12410, for example, features the alternate mix for "Never," but the original mix for "Nothin' At All."

It appears that the original mix of "Nothin' At All" only appeared on various editions of early LP & cassette runs, and later featured on the "Essentials" Collection.


The 45RPM record featured the remix, thus receiving the most airplay on Top-40 radio formats of that day. The two different versions of "Nothin' At All" greatly differ from one another, rather than the two mixes of "Never" which are similar. The original mix of "Nothin' At All" features a very subdued lead vocal from Ann Wilson, with no ad-libs & extras. Howard Leese's guitar solo is also very tame and mellow/melodic. (Emphasis mine as this writer doesn't realize that it's Frankie Sullivan on Guitar here, NOT Leese.)


In the remix, a vibrant alternate lead vocal take from Wilson is featured with striking embellishments; Leese's guitar solo is vastly different. (Obviously because it's NOT Frankie this time)

Drum treatment was mixed with restraint in the original, with heavy reverb as to blend with other instruments; louder, dryer & "cuts-through" on the remix. But while these two versions greatly differ from one another, the underscoring rhythm tracks are exactly the same, hence it appears the two final mixes do not derive from different basic track recording sessions.
