Does anyone have the commercial cd single of "Too Close" by Next (Arista 13456)? If so is that version called the "radio edit" which has the vocals starting at :06?

I don't have the regular CD single for "Too Close", but I
do have the commercial CD maxi-single on Arista 13457.
The lead track is indeed labeled "Radio Edit", w/ a
printed and actual run time of 4:06. And yes, the vocals
start at :06 on that one...

I have the commercial single - Arista 13456 - with the "Radio Edit" (4:06). Spoken vocals ("Yeah...dance for me"), not the singing, come in around :06.

If memory serves. I remember hearing another edit at my
top 40 station. The intro was different, as it had no
spoken vocals, which lead up to "baby when we're grinding".
The intro may have been 5 seconds shorter. Does anyone
remember this edit?

Promo CD ASCD-3435 has one cut Radio Edit 4:06 listed; 4:05 actual. Vocal starts :06 into the song. Vocal is "Yeah, come on..."

Hey everyone!
Bumping this one up again. My local Top40 station
played a version that shortened the intro and removed
the "Yeah, come on..." spoken vocal. I'm betting this
was not an in-house edit, because of the unique audio on
the intro. Does anyone remember hearing this version?
If so, it must have been serviced on a promo CD.

The only promo I've ever come across is the 1-track that Smokin' TomGary lists above (although technically the disc contains a :10 call out hook on track 2, which is listed only on a sticker on the front of the case).
It's possible that a CD-R promo was sent to radio stations with a no-talk intro, as it was common around this time period. It's also possible that your local station created their own. The maxi CD single contains the instrumental version, and it would be pretty simple to splice the instrumental intro onto the "Radio Edit" to create the version you describe.

Oh me, oh my. Sometimes I forget what I own. I have
the maxi single, and lo and behold it can be done using
the instrumental!
Thanks Aaron.

Happy to help! :) I'll still be on the lookout for a CD-R promo that may contain a "no-talk" intro.

This reminds me of a similar situation with "Miami" by Will Smith. The promo CD single included the instrumental, which was clearly utilized by at least two stations I listened to. One station used the instrumental to remove all vocals up to the first verse, while another removed everything up to "check it out, uhh" followed by the first verse.

Yup, we did a similar edit with that where I was working at
the time. We did that also with Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't
Man Enough" (promo of that also contained the instrumental
version).
