Which Version of Ace Of Spades???

[Inspector #20]

Same basic tracks here. I am playing ALL Guitars and bass. Version #1 is more of my own voice...

Version #1:

On this take, our producer challenged me to deliver a more "Lemmy-esque" vocal performance...

Version #2:

Version #3:

This was a live studio recording with all instruments being played simultaneously. The mix isn't great and since I am the only guitarist, the guitar parts are thin...but...this could be re-mastered and it would improve somewhat...

Which do you prefer and why????

I went with #3. It has better energy since it was recorded live, and I thought the drums were better (probably because it was tracked live). I also thought the vocals sounded better when you sing like you. Number one would have been my second choice, and you trying to sound like Lemmy on #2 would be my last for that reason. It's also meant to be played as a three piece.

I am with SG John..
Live is always the best version, more Mojo and I don’t think it is
Thin...

I actually like the guitar better on version 3. The high parts come through better and closer to the original. Your vocals are great on 2 and 3. Of course you could drink more scotch to get even better.

Great review!!!!

We are going to experiment with re-mastering the #3 version and bring the background down a little to boost the solo volume...etc.
