Albums that exist with very different mixes

I hadn't heard that Sisters Of Mercy tidbit - are the mixes radically different? Is one better than the other?

The US version of We Are The Pipettes vs. the UK version.

The Enid re-recorded their first two albums roughly a decade after the originals but a few years ago the originals were reissued.

Art Zoyd re-recorded their debut only five years after the original but I think they have stuck with the second version. Sadly there isn't much info about which reissues contain which mix or how different they are.

Sleeve- weren't you unhappy about the new Rudimentry Peni mixes?

nah, that's remastering not remixing

Gerald, yes, they sound quite different. I don't know which one I prefer though, I first had the vinyl, then the first CD sounded weird and wrong, but now, years later, the remaster (which is the first mix I had again) sounds strange again.

There's one pressing of Eric Clapton's first solo LP ("CTH" in the deadwax) that has several tracks with different mixes. It's apparently quite collectible.

I haven't heard them in 20 years, but I seem to remember that the "Deutsches Album" versions of Peter Gabriel's 3rd & 4th albums had some significant differences in the mixes.

I know Spotify is the enemy and all, but this is where streaming services could really useful, offering multiple mixes of albums for easy A-B comparison (with the artists' blessing of course).

One might think, but oftentimes the only one up there is the rerecord
