[edit] Who Demanded that Magazine be Remixed?

I remember this controversy at the time, and I believe it was always disputed as to whether Heart or Mushroom Records insisted that the album be pulled and re-mixed. I assumed it was Mushroom Records, which to me was more logical. However, I noticed another contributor re-wrote it saying it was Heart who wanted the album pulled. Accordingly, I have tried to make it more "neutral," by saying it is disputed as to who asked for it being pulled. Clearly, this is not a huge controversy to the rest of the world, but among Heart fans, I hope this neutrality will suffice. Asc85 12:55, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

According to at least one source, Heart wanted it destroyed; they took it to court to get an injunction. They got the injunction, but unexpected for them they got it under the condition that they remix it and re-release it; their contract was for two albums, and if they didn't like the one that had been released, they were required to provide a replacement.

Unfortunately Asc85, your "neutrality" is mis-informed. My memory of the events is that the group always claimed the original album was unfinished demo recordings. There was never any dispute about this. It was the band who demanded the album be pulled from the market. They only reluctantly agreed to finish the album as a compromise. The label wanted to make extra money off a recording that the band considered a substandard release. I can see no reason why the label would have pulled the album unless they had been forced into this by court action by the band. 71.35.161.45 (talk) 02:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Original Release

By the way, in case anyone's curious: the original release was a VERY poor effort. The re-mixed version is considerably better and more polished. Asc85 (talk • contribs) 12:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC).

I'm afraid that's POV - there are others who don't agree; I found it interesting to Google some reviews and read the opposing views. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
