"More Than Words Can Say" isn't on my copy of The A
List.
My copy has 50 CDs and was released in 1994. The songs
extend in time from "My Life" (peaked in early 1979) to
"Janie's Got A Gun" (peaked in early 1990). "More Than
Words Can Say" would have been too late for the series,
since it peaked in late 1990.

Thanks for that, crapfromthepast.
Looks like I'll have to double check a few things and report back.

I have a copy of this song running 3:39. It appears to have been ripped from a CD loaned to me by a friend. The length matches the promo version, but there's a very jarring edit that occurs at 2:18 which (to my ears) doesn't resemble the crossfade mentioned earlier in this thread.
Would anyone who is familiar with the promo version be willing to audition my copy and let me know if I have the correct version or not, please?
Thanks.

Hate to bring this up again, but is the 3:39 promo the hit version even if its track 2 of the CD Promo? Every comp and cd promo outside the US has the track at the 3:52.
I guess reading this I am confused. There is no 7 inch in the United States, so does make the cassette or the CD single the point of reference for the hit version here?
You have a 3:52 version that matches the LP and cassette running time, a 3:39 version exclusive to the CD promo in the US which no one seems to remember got played that crossfades and a 45 version in Canada and the UK that matches the cassette version?
Can anyone clarify if I got this right? Thanks in advance.

For what it's worth, I always believed the 3:39 promo CD single version is indeed a remix. It sounds hotter like the producer added reverb, however, this could just be the compression/limiting used
in the broadcast chain. Has anyone else noticed this?

Paul, Whitburn has a 3:41 listing for this song in the annual. Where does it come from if not from a 7" vinyl?
