The Best Way to Listen to SFAM...
...is with my personal remix of the Bottrill mixes from The Making Of SFAM, mixed in with bits from the final mix of the album by Shirley, creating a longer and more complete version of the album, with a longer Intro/Regression, the opening lyrics to "Fatal Tragedy", the longer version of "Through Her Eyes", and the complete ending to "Finally Free" (with the final mix's ending mixed afterwards). Paste it all together, cut into 9 scenes, and BOOM...the only way I listen to SFAM now. There's no going back to any other version.

Where/how can I get said version? How do I go about obtaining these missing parts?
I'd still like to know what this is, btw
Go to ytsejamrecords and you'll find
The Making Of Scenes From A Memory. It's a 2-disc set, and the second disc is the entire David Bottrill mixes of the album, the original mixes to be precise. Shirley came in later and did some remixes, most of which appear on the final released album.
The original mix had some parts that were mixed out, like an opening scene that included more before/with "Regression", a different mix/ending of "Through Her Eyes", etc. etc. All I did was take those tracks from TMOSFAM and made my own album by splicing in parts from the final album (spoken lines at the end of "Fatal Tragedy", the closing scene after "Finally Free", the opening dialogue in "Finally Free") with the Bottrill mixes, made my own version of "Regression" with the "Opening Scene" and Bottrill's "Regression". Here's what my final track list looks like:
1. Scene One - Regression (2:26)
2. Scene Two - Overture 1928/Strange Deja Vu (8:44)
3. Scene Three - Through My Words/Fatal Tragedy (8:12)
4. Scene Four - Beyond This Life (11:22)
5. Scene Five - Through Her Eyes (6:03)
6. Scene Six - Home (12:56)
7. Scene Seven - The Dance Of Eternity/One Last Time (10:00)
8. Scene Eight - The Spirit Carries On (6:39)
9. Scene Nine - Finally Free (12:42)
Total - 79:04
The only version of the album I ever listen to anymore, my own personal version!
