Oh definitely. I was only giving those as examples of new versions that are unmarked. Not every new version on LOVEppears was unmarked either (immature, appears, too late, and WHATEVER all were), so there's no reason why some of the songs on A BEST wouldn't also be unmarked new versions.

But anyway, TO BE and monochrome actually had different people mixing the tracks. In the case of TO BE, it was Atsushi Hattori (Original Mix) vs. Dave Way (Album Version), and for monochrome it's Dave Ford (Original Mix) vs. again Dave Way. My guess in these cases is that they lost the original masters and maybe wanted something close to the original ^^;; In my opinion the album versions are a bit better, a little more polished sounding.

In the cases of monochrome, TO BE, and End roll, the instrumentation is almost completely the same, only the mix is different. too late is only cited as having a different mixer than on the A single also, but the change is more drastic.

But as a side note, has anyone else noticed that the A BEST version of A Song for XX basically just uses the MILLENNIUM MIX instrumentation/mix? It's VERY similar.

I just wish the A BEST booklet had song-by-song credits, rather than listing every mixer in the back. x_x
