No one seems to know exactly what the deal is with these alternate takes. Did they constitute an alternate version of the album approved by Sly, but rejected by Epic?
Were they demo takes? Were they different takes altogether, or merely alternate mixes? How did the mistake happen in the first place? What happened has been the subject of much speculation and debate, little of it informed by any actual facts.
Those who know aren't saying and probably couldn't remember anyway. One thing is for certain; the takes issued on the CD are radically different from the versions that were originally issued on LP. The "official" version of Fresh has a much more compressed "AM radio" sound than the alternate takes, while "Version B" as it came to be known has wider stereo separation and a spacier feeling closer in sound to There's A Riot Goin' On.
One could probably write a book on the differences between the two versions, but suffice to say, they're quite different. Many people prefer "Version B" to the official album, and I would count myself among them, although both versions have their charms. Labels: Funk , sly stone , Soul. Newer Post Older Post Home.
