The Stone Roses - Fools
Fold Credits: Remixed by A Guy Called Gerald. Comments: Reached number 73 in the charts. Not originally going to be released until this limited edition single, which is probably one of the rarest Rose's singles out there, as Silvertone (unusually for them!) haven't decided to reissue it, which (of course) they've done for every other Rose's records many times over....! The 'Bottom Won Mix!' samples heavily from 'Voodoo Ray', and is remixed by Gerald (as proven on the 'I Am The Resurrection' single), despite the credits on the CD itself. The version found on a 12" bootleg is different from either of the two mixes here, and thus, remains unreleased (allegedly neither Ian Brown nor John Squire liked this mix). Gerald undertook a number of different remixes of 'Fools Gold' (about 6), from which The Stone Roses then (allegedly) chose the ones they liked. However, whether they liked either of these two mixes remains a mystery, as this release was a low-key affair, and when 'The Bottom Won Mix!' later appeared on the 'I Am The Resurrection' single in 1992, the Roses had long since left Silvertone, so they would not have had that much input into the release. In 2000, the release of 'The Remixes' album finally saw the reissue of the 'The Top Won Mix!' (albeit in an edited 7:14 min version) - again, a release which had little Roses input. Record companies, eh?!! ;-> Links:
