Talk:Changes (The Monkees album)

message: Could You're So Good to Me be a 1970 adaption of the 1969 song outtake You're So Good by any chance? Both songs were recorded by The Monkees and their lyrics are at least comparable, if not exactly similar.
You're So Good - a Monkees song outtake written by Robert Stone which was recorded by The Monkees in 1969 featuring Micky Dolenz on lead vocals. Released in 1996 on the Monkees album Missing Links Volume Three.
You're So Good to Me - a Monkees song written by Jeff Barry and Bobby Bloom which was recorded by The Monkees in 1970 for the album Changes featuring David Jones on lead vocals. When I ripped the songs from my copy of the Monkees Changes on to the computer, the songwriting credit for You're So Good to Me was "Jeff Barry, Bobby Bloom, Robert Stone".

message: "It says in a subsequently remixed form."
As far as I'm concerned the only differences between the one found on the Changes 1994 Reissue and the one on Missing Links is that the one found on Changes lacks the intro and ending dialogue found on the one from Missing Links. Also the moog synthesizer fades out a couple of seconds faster on the Changes mix than on the Missing Links mix.
Those are the only differences I can hear, but I guess that still counts as a remix. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 09:33, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Time and Time Again 

message: Regarding edits made by , I submit that we should not refer to the AllMusic reference for any statement about Steve Miller and his band credited for writing one song. The reference contradicts itself, with the perfectly good prose review by Tim Sendra saying "Apart from one track written by Dolenz (the goofy country rock novelty 'Midnight Train'..." contradicted by the tracklist listing Dolenz/Lewis/McCarty/Miller. According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources, the prose review is the reliable part of the AllMusic website, so we should just ignore the stuff that's wrong. It would be against the no original research policy to tell the reader that some references are wrong, since none of our references say that the other ones are wrong. Instead, we should simply tell the reader that Dolenz wrote the song "Midnight Train". At most, we can leave a hidden note warning future editors about the confusion with Lewis, McCarty and Miller.

replies: text: A hidden warning note could very well serve as a compromise, since it just doesn't seem right to eliminate the information entirely, since this is the sort of information that readers and editors should know about in-case they somehow end up believing that Lewis, McCarty and Miller co-wrote the song. This information is on multiple sites but I don't think any of them declare that Lewis, McCarty and Miller did not co-write the song. I would have responded sooner but my Wikipedia connection was playing up so I couldn't respond as fast as I would have liked to, as I was held up. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Allmusic reference

message: *The stereo mix is almost completely in mono. The tambourine is slightly more prominent in one channel than in the other.
*The mix presented here is slightly different than on Missing Links. The opening and ending dialogues are removed, and the song fades out at the end, whereas the mix on Missing Links does not fade. The moog also doesn't appear in this mix until after the interlude, whereas in the mix on Missing Links, the moog can be heard during all verses, and the interlude. The moog is also more restrained in this mix than in the mix on Missing Links.
I would provide sources for these facts, but the problem is that the site that contained the information on it is temporarily unavailable. It was this site to be exact. And a very valuable site, which really annoys me that it's currently inaccessible since it contained valuable data and sources for referencing. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Many websites can be accessed at the Wayback Machine even if they are defunct or temporarily out of service. See this example, for instance. But the Monkees Mixography website hosts user-generated content, which makes it unreliable at Wikipedia according to WP:USERG. Binksternet (talk) 06:11, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I mustn't have managed to access it since I was unable exactly how to get there using the Wayback Machine. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 06:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
