We have a bit of an odd situation here regarding Taylor Dayne's "I'll Always Love You", which I began discussing in a different thread. A couple of database CDs contain an "Extended Version" of the song running 6:09-6:10. Now, that would strongly suggest that this is a 12" single version, especially given how Dayne's label has issued several other 12" singles of her Top 40 hits with similar version descriptions. However, it turns out that the vinyl 12" single of "I'll Always Love You" contains the following track listing and timing info on the A-side:

1) Single Mix (actual run time: 4:17; printed run time: 4:18)
2) Extended version - (actual: 6:11; printed: 6:40)

Now, normally, our database policy is to consider the lead track of the A-side as the official 12" single version. However, we can see in this particular instance that the longer "Extended Version" is not that track! So, how should we handle this?

Well, as much as I don't like it, my personal opinion is to probably just stick with the "letter of the law" and consider the "Single Mix" as the official 12" single version, even though it is identical to the 45 version and most likely not the reason why people sought out and bought this song on the vinyl 12" format! Therefore, my suggestion would be to post the aforementioned track listing and timing information for the 12" vinyl single A-side in the "I'll Always Love You" title notes to help educate database users regarding the origin of the "Extended Version" currently available on CD.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I added a title note that should help clarify it.
