Soft & Wet [Disco Mix]

Huh?

The Disco mix of "Soft and wet" was the B-side to the 12" promo for "Just as long as we're together (disco mix)" from 1978. There really isn't much difference at all, just the way the song was mixed. It sounds as if the highs were uped a little to me. Somebody else may be able to explain better than me.

Ironic that your compilation does not include a remix of My Name Is Prince . . . the very song that your thread title came from!

SCORPI09 said:

Great list!! There was also, the "Get Off", housemix.

Oh, ok, i gotta check it. R u sure that the mix REALLY is different and that it's not just a difference in the pressing or between ur CD of the album & the vynil 12"? (some songs i have in different 4mats really sound different depending on the source)

djdaffy1227 said:

I disagree. There are a few significant differances.
1. Yes, the mix is totally different from the album/cd. Very bright and a little more skeletal. You hear some of the vocals and instruments more clearly.
2. A couple of vocal scats/adlibs that were recorded in the initial session were brought back in. Prince decided to drop them for the LP/Single versions. Most obivious one is right after the lines, "Tell that you feel the same way I do." and before, "Tell me That you love me girl." That vocal ad lib is not on the album, but included on this disco mix.
3. The ending ad lib vocal is cut short, but the instrumentation is echoed and extended a bit.

Just As Long As Were Together -
1. The hand claps and finga snaps are gone on this version.
2. It sounds a lot slower than the original version.
3. The sound mix a very different.

I've seen this for sale for as little as $100 up to $300. Very rare piece, but a must if you're a collector. I have mine!!

all the best? really?

takes all kinds, i suppose.... but... um... you might want to replace a few of those with Mountains and I Wish U Heaven and Little Red Corvette and Gett Off and Erotic City and La La La He He Hee and um...

well about a dozen or two others.

BTW - Jim Burgess is the guy who did this "disco mix." If you want to know more about him.....
http://www.disco-disco.co.../jim.shtml
[excerpt]
Jim was also one of the first and most well known remixers and John tells us how Jim became a remixer; "Jim came to New York when Disco was really at the absolute peak. He became close with Ray Caviano of Warner Brothers Records (later RFC Records), and various other record promoters who all used to frequent the clubs in which he played. Because his theatrics were unique at that time, and his background and training as a tenor helped him to make very musical choices when deciding what record would sound best after the one he was currently playing. His ear for blending and craftiness made it easy for him to break new music and get a good response from the floor. Add it all up and he became a very logical choice to bring into the studio."
Jim's remixing style has always been compared with another of the famous remixers of the Disco era, namely John Luongo. Mr. Luongo told me the following regarding the similarities in their remixing styles; "Jim Burgess was a classically trained opera singer. He was an even tempered and yet very passionate human being and a wonderfully talented DJ supreme. Our similarities were centered around the fact that we both loved great vocals and wonderfully powerful and well separated mixes. If you listen to my mixes you will always hear every line of the vocalist at all times. I prided myself with being the mixer whose mixes always let the vocalist be heard.
I have always said that I did not mix dance records, just great records that you could dance to. Jimmy had the same attitude as I did. A record should be mixed to play at the clubs and be listened to on the radio.
Jimmy would come to see me in the studio and watched and listened to my mixes. He would have told me if what I was doing was crap and had no fear of being honest with me. Thankfully, he loved my selection of songs and the way I mixed them. He constantly told me that he would pay me the supreme compliment by playing any record that said 'Mixed by John Luongo' even without a preview listen the evening before. He followed in my footsteps and always came to me for advice and critiques of what he did. I encouraged him to go for it and never play it safe. I believed and told him that you always experiment at the top. It is not the time to play it safe or to repeat a formula.

That cover is too hilarious for words

la,la,la,he,he,he...

The Disco Mix of "Soft And Wet" also has the keyboard bass higher in the mix. I definitely prefer this mix as it's a bit fatter sounding. Definitely worth hunting it down!

The Cover Sleeve - 1979 Disco in all it's glory!!
