T'Pau Remixes
Does anybody have any good remixes/dubs of Heart And Soul and any other T'Pau songs? Especially interested in any Remix Service Stuff. Thanks.

I received my "Bridge Of Spies" 2 CD / 1 DVD box set today, and this "Extended Rock Mix", clocking in at 5:51, is nowhere to be found. I wasn't able to find it listed on Discogs either, unless it is not credited as such on a 12" release. Listed on disc 2 of the box set is a "Remix", which appeared on the 12", clocking in at 5:05. It has bits and pieces of the "Extended Rock Mix", but the "Extended Rock Mix" has several pieces, especially at the end, that are neither in the "Album Version" nor the "Remix".

The 5:50 Re-Edit was done by Mixfinder (he also did that extended mix of Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go"). Here's what he told me in an email almost 2 years ago...
"Heart And Soul had 2 different 12" singles (you may know this). The first one was pulled quickly, it was a remix of the same arrangement, with the rock beat. I kept that one, i prefered it. The 2nd one i hated, that was a completely stripped down dance/dub mix that didn't sound like the hit.
The only i didn't like about the "rock" 12" was it was missing some of the song (i hate when they do that) .. if i recall it was missing a verse, and the end choruses.
So, warning - this is also a bit crude, and at that time i had to run both versions i used (the LP and the 12") thru an analog mixing board to dub them and also EQ them to sound more alike, so it's a bit over-modulated from that.
Anyway i called this the "expanded rock mix" - it was the 12" that i wanted."

However, 4:58 and on confuses me in the "Extended Rock Mix". I can only assume that Mixfixer blended the tracks together in order to create that unique outro, especially at 5:30, in which Carol's chorus vocals can be heard without the drums backing. Perhaps a vocal filter was done in order to isolate her vocal for this outro? I don't hear this isolated vocal part in any of the official mixes (I thought that it might be in the "Dub Mix", but I didn't hear it there). Any ideas? The reason that I ask is because I would like to re-create this "Extended Rock Mix" myself using the 2015 remasters. I am thinking that might not be possible, however, so I may just try re-creating a similar version. I am a huge fan of this "Extended Rock Mix", if one hasn't figured that out already.It's one of my favorite extended mixes.
