Phil:
Has anyone heard the Eno reissues yet? I'm most >interested in
reports that "Everything Merges
With The Night" on ANOTHER GREEN WORLD is missing >five seconds,
including the first sung lyric of
the track, but possibly only on the US version.
Someone on another of my mailing lists confirms it:
"The weirdest thing, though, is on Another Green World: two bars have
been
omitted from the beginning of "Everything Merges with the Night." The
two
bars immediately after the entrance of the bass guitars, when Eno sings
"Rosalie...": gone. The vocal begins with the song's *second* line, and
those two bars are just...gone. At first, I was suspecting a [...]
deletion of past life experience* - but the second "Rosalie"
in the song is there. And if they only wanted to delete the name (for
whatever reason), why not just omit the vocal line...and why keep it
the
second time? And if there was a problem with part of those two bars in
the original tapes...well, there's enough repetitive material in the
track (including Eno singing "Rosalie..." again with nearly the same
phrasing & melody) to put together a composite that would be *close to*
but not exactly as on the original tape."
So, apparently true, but no less mysterious for it. Maybe someone
pulled the a master of a contemporaneous alternate version of the
song... it's been known to happen...
