Let me know, There are, in fact, two versions of Be Kind To My Mistakes. HOWEVER, the really good version is ONLY available on the soundtrack to the movie "Castaway." Every other time this song has been issued, it has been in what some clever L-H termed the Reader's Digest Abridged Version. This version is truly annoying, if you know the original, because it takes out most of the intro/outro/bridging material and otherwise castrates an amazingly wonderful song. I don't know what prompted Kate (or whoever) to do this - after all, if "I'm Still Waiting" can run 4.5 minutes, why can't "Mistakes," which is a far far superior song? Anyway, the compilation you were looking at is called THEODORE and it has the lame-o short version of BKTMM. Save your money and try to find the Castaway soundtrack instead. (Sorry to rant, but I really really really loved this song until it was butchered. This is probably the one and only issue that Chris & Vickie (TM)(R)(C)(P) agree with me on.) -- jon drukman jondr@sco.com always note the sequencer: sco docland wage slave uunet!sco!jondr this will never let us down
