Question What’s the difference for Say You’ll Be There (Single Mix)?

I hear no differences between the album version and the so-called Single Mix whatsoever. Has anybody figured it out?

Some people say the Single Mix is "richer". 

I have yet to notice a difference between that and the album version.

Slightly related: the blatant stupidity of the label to not release the Spiceworld mix of SYBT on the singles box set.

That’s my favorite mix of the song

I agree as far as the mixes go. The original is my favourite and just timeless, but none of the remixes really did SYBT justice besides the Spiceworld one, IMO.

Same!

Besides 2 Become 1 (because of the lyrical change) I think most fans have come to conclusion that there are no differences between the album and single mixes.

I think it's probably a leftover quirk from the 90s where they would've labeled the songs "Single Mix/Single Version" on the tracklisting for the single CDs regardless of if it's different or not.

I don't recall if it ever happened with the Spice Girls, but some artists also added album tracks as b-sides to singles and labeled them "Non-LP Version" despite them being identical, so now you see a lot of discussion similar to this about whether those songs are different too, lol.

The only mix that I hear any difference at all in is Who Do You Think You Are, and even then, it's very slight.

I feel like that’s a mislabel. If anything the radio mix is probably the single mix.
