I deliberately skipped out talking about the remixes of "Living Sin" (or SUN according to the booklet
) so as not to spoil the surprises, but it's been a few weeks now, so here's what's up with the remixes:
First off, there's definitely an additional vocal line around 0:23 that wasn't used in the original mix. However, listen very closely to the original mix and you'll hear a faint glimpse of it through the reverb. My guess is that while doing the final mix pass, they muted the direct vocal track right there but not the reverb, which is why you can still hear a faint trickle of it on the original mix. Kudos to Jakko for this inclusion!
Then around 2:14 on the remix is where the real fun begins. For the first time ever (I think) we finally have a chance to hear what they were actually playing in that section before the vocal reenters around 2:25. Now go back and listen to the original mix. Right around 2:14 there is an audible edit back to 0:53 with Greg Lake's vocal ("Can't you see through…"), and then the edit out point occurs at around 2:25.
The editing on the original mix most likely occurred after it was mixed and was the result of a production decision by Greg, so once again, kudos to Jakko for getting that extra bit of material out there!
One last fun fact about these bigger differences (as there are smaller differences but won't go into those now) is that the symmetry of the edited section on the original mix perfectly matches the length of the original music played and found in the remix. Count for yourself to hear what I'm talking about!
