Seal - Seal

There are two versions of this album. Between the versions, only "The Beginning" and "Future Love Paradise" are identical. "Deep Water", "Whirlpool" and "Show Me" have differences only audible by careful comparison. "Crazy", "Killer" and "Violet" are mixed differently, and "Wild" is a different recording altogether. Both versions are known to exist on all formats (CD, LP and Cassette). Country of origin appears to play no role. In general, there are no external, visible identifiers to tell which version of the album a release might contain. The 'premix' (early, first) version of the album is easily identified by the duration of "Crazy" being 4:47 instead of 5:56. On the 'final' (second) version, the last track, "Violet" contains movie dialogue and sounds of rain, both missing in the 'premix' version. Some of the editions containing the 'premix' are found at: • [r=20806] - CD, Europe; • [r=7943408] - CD, Japan; • [r=70401] - LP, Europe.
