this is the 5th version of this song on youtube that ISN'T the right version? its different than the version i have. what's the deal? where's my version?
I have the version I think you are talking about. I ripped it years ago when uToob just started. It seems that that subtle change in the arrangement has gotten lost in translation. I noticed also that the vocals here are hard-panned to the the left. A common practice in the 50's and 60's when stereo recordings were a new invention. In contemporary recording it is generally realized that panning the voice one extreme side loses a bit of dynamic in the mix, and this would rarely be done today except certain effects. I don't remember if my version is hard-panned left or not. But i'm rippng this version now because it's such a high-quality compression for some reason. I'm almost temped to even out the stereo mix in my studio here! // Thanks for you comment of two years past! Your, _Acoustic Rabbit Hole_
@@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole... i appreciate the info but, it took some doing, but i finally found "my" version. it was on a cd series called "compact jazz: nina simone." i guess it was recorded live at vine st. bar & grill in 1987, released in 1989. when i first discovered nina i didn't know she'd been singing and recording for over 20 years. and i didn't know there was a studio version of the song. after comparing both versions i like the live version better. her vocal inflections on certain words seem better suited. but i probably wouldn't think so if i'd heard the studio version first. who knows? familiarity has such influence over our tastes and preferences. thanks for the response to my comment.
