sometimes the radio edit might be little more "pop" but they are similar to each other
if I get adventurous I might try to upload the audio on these....guessing its ok since its very much out of print (but would be a good seller if in the store I bet...)
i guess this could also go in the rarest promo thread but since i had more info about it here, i will continue here.
i was listening to this recently , trying to come up with a decnt description of the tracks. I got to say its hard for me to describe, not all that different really and the last track is really just a clip i guess that cuts off abruptly but after a KEEELER Joe solo. What stood out to me though was the blistering solo on Heartaches, the 5th track on this cd. a little background is that i love the song but i have tended to skip it a time or two and actually when i first saw a vid of it on Joe's own website back when i first heard about him, i never watched all the way thru. it did not catch me instantly as a song i thought i would enjoy. i mean i know that sounds dumb but it starts bluesy and that just wasn't in my interest really or something that grabbed my attention. i guess i never got to the solo,lol and that was a live clip. good thing i went to a show because based on that clip i would have skipped over Joe altogether and probably wouldn't have tuned in until recently when my Mother would have turned me on via PBS....
anyway I knew i had not heard the orginal ANDY studio track for sometime. when i heard track 5 off this Color and Shape promo, i was blown away. I thought to myself hey wait a minute i think that might be the most blistering solo on a studio release. i was then reminded of another thread around here somewhere. i thought i found a secret solo. i couldn't wait to share my find here but of course i had to do the proper research first (including a relisten to Faithless studio but I never got that far). I looked at the promo and it says "album version"
i was like what? i guess it is not news huh. i should go listen to ANDY again, and ANDY Live just to be sure this solo was more blistering. but what? the album version on ANDY is a couple minutes longer.......so then i was like really excited because i think i have a whole different version of this song!
so i try and try to pay close enough attention but each time my mind kind of wanders then i realize its getting blistering and try to pay attention. uggh i just don't know now. I think that it probably is a shortened version of the album edit and perhaps not a seperately recorded solo....???>??
so I uploaded but only viewable with the url, not searchable. although its a rare out of print release....i just wasn't extremely comfortable putting it on the tube BUT i am curious what anyone else thinks. as Jim mentioned on another thread, its dated 2002, after the album came out...so just find it odd what they refer to it as album edit
its gone off topic I know but I hope its OK to put here. i was just hoping for the really sick fans to reply anyway .....
so, is this the same solo off ANDY/ its around 4 mins= on this track, 6 mins plus on the ANDY cd

a fine edit nonetheless and just HOW DOES HE DO THAT???? I know there is much more to a solo than being blistering but anyway blahblah
of course now each time i listen it sounds slower/less blistering but still wondering is it the same solo?
HI Jane, yes it is PART of the same solo as on the album release. The most obvious is Joe taking the vocal lead where Leslie West takes it. Whether Leslie overdubbed guitar and vocals or muted, edited, or otherwise deleted from previous tracks, I would ask whomever was there and can remember. My guess he dubbed last...Do NOT know though. Leslie ALSO solos on the album, a fact often overlooked, "somehow" Joe's solo here picks up at about the 4:50 point of the CD album. It is exactly the same from that point on to the conclusion of the track. Just think missing Leslie vocal and solo (withheld for time constraints of radio stations of any stripe) and you still got distilled Smokinastilly Joe Bonamassa! Simple!
Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
