(It sounds like) FTLOSM was RE-RECORDED

[Matthew]

uncle joe did say just recently he was in the recording studio (within the last 10 months) with sp & his vocals sound like they did mid 80's. so maybe this is new vocals???

Good question.

Is there anything in the sleeve notes which might give a couple of hints about new 'post-production'? Haven't got my new copy yet....

Thank you! That was my thought, exactly

Well, there's a HELL OF A LOT MORE STUDIOS LISTED than before....and I always read liner notes on all CDs:

Recorded at Ocean Way, Hollywood, CA
One on One, N. Hollywood, CA.
Record Plant, Hollywood CA.
The Enterprise, Burbank, CA.
American Studios, Woodland Hills, CA.
Knightlight Studios, Dallas, TX.
Dallas Sound Labs, Dallas, TX.

TEXAS?!

Hey - wouldn't it be something if I WAS CORRECT?

That would shut EVERYONE up about his "lost voice"

[Rockindeano]

"Listen To Your Heart" is a TOTALLY NEW VOCAL!!!!!

Nora, from when. ?Does anyone know. Will get it tomorrow.

Who knows?? But it IS new....and it sounds RECENT...

How does a voice "sound recent?" What in the Hell are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me/us, that Perry went into the studio, as recently as last year, and laid down new vocals for a re issue? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard or read, and I have read lots of Abitamans' crap.

Yea, that makes sense, redo your vocals on a record that is a reissue, but don't put out anything new

Folks, it didn't happen.

[NoMoreTails]

How does a voice "sound recent?"

This means it sounds the way he did on DSB with the Chisox?

No...it means that it's a different vocal, and it sounds fresher and stronger than it did in 94 - TO MY EARS, OK...

SP himself said he was practicing....AND Joe Benson - a trusted source - said he witnessed Steve singing in a STUDIO within the last 10 months.

Just reporting what I heard that's different....that's all....

Notice that I changed the title to "It Sounds Like" - and it does - TO ME - this is all subjective.

You are starting to read like you are so desperate for anything new by Perry that you will invent things just so it's there.

No comment from me on those songs, since I don't own them - and don't plan to. But, I do find it VERY improbable that he rerecorded the entire FTLOSM album. It's a REMASTER, it's supposed to sound diferent.

[Granny]

Wow, Steve overdid himself didn't he? A new verse! Fuck, I hope he didn't break his OTHER hip in that go for it all attitude of re-recording a single verse! Steve, you are God!

You are all making me hate this bastard, and that is not a good thing.

OK Deano- I've had enough. No matter what u say you will never take our love for him-AWAY. He is the best of the best! Its a god damn shame he had MEDICAL problem-even tho' u don't believe it, There are lots of others who do, and I hope SP proves u wrong about his singing ability and we get to hear something solo from him soon!!!

No one here bashes our favorite guitar player either. Even with the patch on his pants-guess he can't afford new ones.
In fact, no one here bashes any member of Journey past or present. This is a JOURNEY forum and we are all here cos we love 'em. They are the best muscians in the world, bar none.!!!!!!!

That just isn't true. Plenty of people here 'bash' Augeri...including Dean.

Do u know for sure that he doesn't have a scar on his hip?<a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNxdm117JXUS%2526i%253D4%252F4%255F1%255F115v%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_115v.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D4%252F4_1_115v/image.gif"></a>

That album sucked donkey dicks anyway. Should be re-written AND re-recorded. Fucking snorefest.

And before anyone jumps in my grill, the first Perry solo was excellent.

I thought FTLOSM was disappointing as well.

[NealIsGod]

So all three of Perry's solo CDs have been remastered now. ST, ROR and FTLOSM.

[Deb]

Medical problems my ass.

LOL, pick me, pick me.........I'll investigate and report back.

Actually he said he has to carry a card for his titanium hip. Set those metal detectors off at the airport.

From "Listen to your Heart":

1994:
"Every word I said
Every word is true..."

2006:
"Every word I say
Every word is true..."

Not only that....he ends on a high tone on the word "said".

He drags the tone down at the end of the word "say".

Wow, i just listened to a sample on the sony music store, and whatever it is, that is not the original vocal on this song....

Nora,

I've NEVER believed that Perry ''lost his ability to sing", that is just what some do to tear Perry down. I sure can't wait to get my CDS, so I can HEAR THAT SWEET MUSIC of Steve Perry!!!!!

Lori

[Shadowsong]

That's the joy of it all..

Dare I say,
this is Steve Perry
so throw out your preconceived notions
of what an ordinary person might do.

Who is to say a man of this estute sense of perfection
might not rerecord certain lines to give it the sound he wants.

It;s done all the time in music.
There are few of us that can get a perfect flawless recording.
Maybe he wanted to change a line

Does it seem likely?

NO!

No, for just anyone remastering a recording
but where Steve is concerned...
Who knows?

Why not!
If he wanted to
he could

If he wanted to
maybe he did

To me that makes it even more special!

I decided to make a hash-mark listing everytime I heard something different in this song.

My total?

20 vocal inflections that are different from the original.

[treetopovskaya]

didn't sp say he was going to mix the old with the new? old vocals with new vocals maybe? };C)

I really want to believe this, and maybe im just screwed up, but i just played both songs (old and new) on 2 different computers at exactly the same time, and they sounded identical. I only went about half way through, are the different inflections at certain times? Yeah, i know im the one who thought it was a different vocal, but maybe it was just the remaster getting me....

The changes I'm talking about are MINISCULE....you need to be able to really "listen deep" into a vocal line to hear it.

Since I have what I call "Sonic Hearing" ~ what other peeps might call "Auditory Hallucinations" LOL ~ I can hear the tiniest change in anything.

[Monker]

This sounds like the same BS you guys were saying when listening to bootlegs a few months ago.

Even if it IS different, it doesn't mean it RERECORDED THEM with 'todays' voice.

Since I have what I call "Sonic Hearing" ~ what other peeps might call "Auditory Hallucinations" LOL ~ I can hear the tiniest change in anything.

Just a few posts ago you were saying that it was a more 'modern' sound, or whatever you said. You didn't make it out like you needed some kinda bionic hearing to sense them.

I think 'hallucination' is a good description...it seems you are hearing what you WANT to hear. Listen close enough, you can probably hear Augeri singing backup vocals, too.

[Shadowsong]

Tis the beauty of the senses
embraced in thw whispers of shadows
We have only but to listen
As soft pale moonlight reaches through the window

[Vladan]

Re-recorded? - no. There is a chance they did go over some other versions of the song recorded, perhaps used old material and cut and it in, there was probably left overs on the studio floor, and effects can change alot.

[ArnelRox]

Um people. Did u ever think this might be Steve's "audition" to see if people still loved his voice? If it succeeds & sells well, we might hear more in 07. Think about it for a minute.

AR if this comes to pass, u know what u promised! Dean ur fucked too.
