Haven't posted anything before . . . Wish me luck.

"Anthem Of The Sun":
     Not all of the remixed versions of this albums say so on the cover.
All of the white cover versions and most of the purple cover versions
you can find in stores are remixed versions.  Only the early green label
Warner Bros. (I don't remember exactly how to tell these apart except by 
sound) and the Japanese import pressings are of the unremixed version. 

     I like the stereo mix better on the remix; it's generally cleaner
and better balanced.  However, I do miss some of the nifty sounds that
were deleted on the remix.

"Aoxomoxoa":
     All remixed versions have a note on the back saying that they are
remixed.  On virtually every song, something was cut from the remixed
version.
     I really enjoy the unremixed version of Aoxomoxoa.  "Mountains Of
The Moon" just doesn't sound right without the angelic chorus singing
behind Jerry!  By all means, you should beg, buy, steal, or tape a copy
of this unremixed version.
