“Life Got Cold”’s mixes have always confused me as well. For my album I use the radio mix from the reissue (while other wise having the original track listing), but I never understood why the proper radio mix was only track 2 on CD 2.
I understand why the reissue happened, but it's just bad. It gave us nothing worth keeping, considering ''Jump'' was on ''WWTNS?'' and the original cover was 100% better.
Another thing the original did better? The placement of “Stop” in the tracklist. It felt like correct where it is, don’t know why they moved it “second to last” (“Girls on Film” is just a bonus track).
In my head the original I ThInk We're Alone Now was like Steps' Better The Devil You Know, all tinny, cheap and lame. But I just ripped it from my Sound of ... Best Of CD and it's actually pretty good! It's really nothing as I remembered. I felt like I always preferred the single mix because it was a bit more like Something Kinda Oooh (and Destroy Everything You Touch) than the inferior original mix, but hearing it 15 (16 eek) years on it's nothing as I remembered! The shame.
Much as I love Girls Aloud and much like I love Steps I'll be sticking to Tiffany's and Kylie's (and 5 star's to bring them up to date) versions.
The original mix’s backing track just sounds like a cheap 2006 karaoke version of Tiffany’s version to me. I much prefer the single mix but even then I wouldn’t say I love their version.
I was convinced she was in the middle. Then I found her. Then I decided the 3 on the left are all different shades of Nadine
