The Velvet Forum

Recently downloaded Twisted Stars set, but disc 4 was incomplete because the seeder said that some of the songs were "officially released" somewhere. Does anyone know where the first song on disc 4 "Searchin" was released?

It is called "Searchin" but it is really Sister Ray, "Swan" mix, Mayfair Studio, September 1967.

I'm trying to piece disc 4 together on my own and need to know where to get this version of the song.

Any help will be much appreciated.

i think that track was posted here a while ago....sure somone has it

One other question...

Just what is the "swan" mix, and which version of Sister Ray is it a new/different mix of?

The "swan" mix is a re-equalised version of the regular WL-WH studio take. Its name comes from the comp LP it was issued on in the early 70s, one that featured swans on its cover. People like it because the re-equalising gives the track more kick. See also Oliviers discography, comp LPs section.
