I think it's a smart move and shows they're standing behind their premier track despite what someone has done with the mix. Bad remix or not it's THEIR track and THEY'RE going to promote it and give it the love some may feel it deserves.

Now that is an interesting way of looking at it.
I still don't know that I like it - but definitely a perspective I hadn't considered.

...because record labels are all about the love, never the money.

Well yes it's about the money as well, why would they let someone else profit off their flagship track?
And yes, Bedrock is about the love

It sounds a lot like the original mix.

No. Bedrock has had an incredible number of stellar releases in the past and one odd release such as this isn't going to damage its credibility, unless they choose to continue down this path. I think it's way out of line compared to what they're usually doing, sure, but I don't see it being a process that will continue.

I think that's an excellent way of looking at it.

I couldn't disagree more with any of that, but fair play to you I guess.
Imagine a snowball rolling down a mountain...
Bedrocks back catalog doesn't gain them anything in my book other than high expectations, and with this release, I no longer have those.
