    Pale Shelter (New Extended Version/Fade-out) 6.51 // Pale Shelter 4.08 / We Are Broken 4.03 (12": IDEA 512)

John Sylvien gave me this info about this single: "The 'New Version' 7" is simply an edit of the LP version. The opening weird sounds are cut out, and the song fades out a few seconds early. The 'New Version' 12" seems to be an extended version of the same mix, and is exactly the same as the "Long Version" on The Hurting CD reissue, only shorter."

18 Aug 1984 7"/12" Mothers Talk

    Mothers Talk 3.53 ["First Mix"] / Empire Building 2.49 (7" green vinyl: Mercury IDEA7)

An ad in the music magazine "No 1" # 65 (8 Sep 1984) [https://www.flickr.com/photos/57779449@N02/48742794792/in/album-72157710866911152/] gives the titles "First Mix" and "Funk Mix" but these titles are not on the actual singles.

Julian Hermeyer sent me this in-depth analysis on 30 Jan 2020: "There are two different mixes of the original 1984 single version. (Both versions are an edit of the LP recording.)

- "1st Mix": rather dry in comparison to the album version. It was used for the soundtrack of the first music video (directed by Laurie Lewis) & released on the clear and green vinyl singles. Featured on both 2006 and 2014 deluxe editions of SFTBC, as "7" version" or "Single Version".

- "Funk Mix": Much more reverb on keyboards and drums. Heard during the second music video (directed by Nigel Dick) & released on the regular black vinyl 7". It's the same mix as on the album, just shorter. It's featured on the CD compilation "The Collection" (2003, Mercury; 063 358-2). Also, if you have the box set you can rip it from the DVD.

Other variations of this recording: early instrumental mix (disc 4 of the box set), album version, Extended Version (disc 3 of the box set) and Beat of the Drum Mix (2006 deluxe and disc 3 of the box set).

The "Radio Version" is apparently very similar to the Remix, has no flanging and practically no reverb, and almost sounds like a mono version/fake stereo.

"Filmed on location in England, Germany, America & Canada in 1984 & 1985. All live numbers from the Massey Hall, Toronto, 30th & 31st May 1985." The DVD also includes the 1990 video "Going to California" and an interview with producer Chris Hughes.

    Memories Fade (Live at Massey Hall) 5.08 / Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Live at Massey Hall) 4.15 / Broken/Head over Heels (Live at Massey Hall) 7.26 (Vertigo DJV 173)
Features the same three tracks on both sides. It says "Taken from the video album Scenes from The Big Chair" so I guess it's the same audio as the video. There are no dates given, but in the 2014 SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR 6-Disc Box it says 30 May 1985 at Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada, and I guess then that the live tracks on SCENES FROM THE BIG CHAIR were from that same date.

March/April 1986 US 7" Mothers Talk [1986 US Version]

    Mothers Talk [1986 US Version] 4.14 / Sea Song 3.52 (Mercury, 884 638-7)
This 1986 US version produced by Chris Hughes, mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

Julian Hermeyer sent me this in-depth analysis on 30 Jan 2020: "There are four different versions of this US Version (which is really a Re-Recording, as it's completely re-done), three of them are distinctly different mixes.

- "Original 1986 US Version": Released in 1986. Re-recorded with saxophone, a completely different part replacing the string samples and a bit slower. Both Roland and Curt said that it is their preferred version. Original 1986 US Version is available on "Shout: Very Best of" and "The Millennium Collection".

- "1986 US Video Version": Starting with a "ballady" vocal/keyboard verse ("It's not that you're not good enough..."), otherwise same mix as the regular 1986 US Version, so basically just an extended version of that. CD debut on the 2014 deluxe of SFTBC. Soundtrack to the 3rd video clip.

- "1986 US Version - 1990 Remix": A remix from 1990, first released on the B-side of the 1990 single "Famous Last Words". Same recording but extra reverb, percussion brought up in the mix (or added?) & drums much less punchy. Other differences are found in the vocal mix, and the fadeout is shorter. Simply called "US Remix" on the 1999 remaster and 2014 deluxe edition of SFTBC, as well as "Gold" and other comps.

- "Alternate US Remix": Another mix of the same recording. This has very punchy drums, female background vocals more audible, no saxophone, and additional guitar and vocal parts. Simply labeled as "US Remix" on the 2006 deluxe of SFTBC and "Alternate US Remix" (which lacks the short, very quiet four-second percussion intro that's on the 2006 CD) on the 2014 box set.
