additional information
This is described as Reel Two: Out Takes of the New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) tapes. It includes the full, unedited mix of Someone Somewhere In Summertime.

The description of the tape in the library is:

It would appear that Pete Walsh prepared the full version and the edit version together. The edit was then physically removed from the spool, and added the to stereo master. This left the untouched Full Duration and part of the Edit sections which still remain.

additional information
This is described as Reel Four of the New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) tapes. (There is a note that Reel Five is also written on the tape box so there's some confusion about its origin.)

It used to include the Full Duration mix of Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel but that has been extracted as a master for the album just leaving the final seconds of the longer fade out (which includes some slightly different emphasis on the lyrics). I assume the missing tape was transfered to the album master tape.

(A pity as the Full Duration may now be lost as it was cut up to form the final album version).

The Full Duration Instrumental is complete, and the tape finishes with a brief burst of some Edit Sections.

additional information
This is described as Reel Five of the New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) tapes.

It included two remixes of Promised You A Miracle for the album. The short remix was extracted to the album's stereo master tape. The long remix remains and is simply the Extended Version of the song which had been previously released. (There may be extra percussion over the coda and fade which needs checking.)

It includes the Instrumental of Big Sleep and a brief edit section of an extended version of New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) which includes extra lyrics.

The description of the tape in the library is:

The master has been extracted but no Edit Sections remain of Big Sleep - the tape starts with the Instrumental.

additional information
This is described as Reel Eight of the New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) tapes.

It includes the Full Duration Instrumental of Somebody Up There Likes You and around 30 sections of Edit Sections.

The description of the tape in the library is:

This would seem to indicated the the Full Duration mix was extracted for the album. It must have been extracted and then further edited and this version has now been lost. However the existing Tk1 Short Fade is slightly different than the album version, giving further credence that Tk2 Full Duraction was used for the album.

additional information
This is described as Reel Thirteen of the New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) tapes.

The tape listing is incorrect as it hasn't been updated. The Full Duration was extracted for the album - meaning that the extended version appears on the album itself - leaving the slightly shorter Short Fade and Fade Only (Without Herbi).

The Short Fade mix of Hunter And The Hunted is slightly different from the album take. Fade Only has an alternative end section which doesn't feature the Herbie Hancock instrumental.

The description of the tape in the library is:

This description is slightly misleading. The tape doesn't feature alternative takes, it simply features alternative mixes.

I believe Short Fade and Fade Only (Without Herbi) were prepared for potential single use.

An absolute gem. It features two version of a very slow version of In Every Heaven - one with rough vocals and one without - and it doesn't feature the complex drum patterns of the final recorded version.

The remixes of Someone Somewhere In Summertime are the same as those used on the single.

This was the fourth tape prepared for the Someome Somewhere In Summertime single.

It starts with just Charlie's opening guitar solo which was especially recorded for the single. It's then followed by some brief Edit Sections, before the main 12" Remix Instrumental starts, preceeded by Mel's count in.

The Instrumental of New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) is the German 12" Remix but it has the opening drumming.
