Rio

This is the second (of three) US variations of Rio and contains the 4:02 David Kerschenbaum remix of "Hungry Like The Wolf". The third version would replace this with the 5:14 "Night Version", often errantly attributed to Kerschenbaum. This release is denoted by the "Remixed & Remastered" sticker on the front cover (not all copies have this) and "RE #1" in the runout. There is no Kerschenbaum remix credit on the inner sleeve, even though all tracks on side A are the new Kerschenbaum remixes. Track timings on the label are incorrect and carried over from the previous pressing. The timings provided here are from Tom McClintock and Ansgar Thomann's website referenced on the main Rio page and have been verified by timing the vinyl. Side A is mastered considerably quieter than Side B on this pressing. [Note on the different US releases of 'Rio':] All 'Rio' lacquers, cut in-contract by TML and Precision Mastering, show a "Z" in the runout matrix and had been consecutively numbered. Except Z-1 and Z-4, the numbering system counts A- and B-side lacquers separately and was used for all three album variants. By these Z-numbers, the pressing plant, the album variant and the side of the record can be identified: Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles: Z4 (Var.1,A+B) Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville: Z1 (Var.1, A+B) / Z8 (Var.2+3, B) / Z12 (Var.3, B) / Z13 (Var.2, A) / Z16 (Var.3, A) / Z17 (Var.3, A) / Z20 (Var.3, A) Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester: Z2 (Var.1, B) / Z5 (Var.1, A) / Z6 (Var.1, B) / Z9 (Var.2, B) / Z10 (Var.3, B) / Z11 (Var.3, B) / Z15 (Var.2, A) / Z18 (Var.3, A) / Z19 (Var.3, A)
