I inquired Edtop40 about the commercial single version of SWV's "Anything" and he informs me his cassette single copy states "Old Skool Radio Version" and runs 4:20. That said, it doesn't look like the single version has ever been issued on a domestic full-length CD release.
This leads me to wonder which version of "Anything" should be considered the album or LP version. Would it be the one running 4:07 on the Above the Rim soundtrack CD (Death Row/Interscope 92403 and 92359 and 50606), or the one running 2:47 on SWV's It's About Time disc (RCA 66074) (which Pat correctly comments is the "original recording but not the hit version")? Input is welcome from anyone willing to weigh in on this.

I'd say the comment that Pat has listed next to It's About Time is an accurate comment. As far as the "Old Skool Remix" version, which is the "hit" version, there's a total of three different mixes that I know of.
"Old Skool Radio Version feat. Wu-Tang Clan" (4:54) is included on the SWV album Remixes. This version does not contain the bridge with the lyrics "there is nothing I wouldn't do for you...," but instead has rap verses by Wu-Tang Clan.
"Old Skool Radio Version" from the cassette single (4:20) [and on my TM Century disc (4:18)] has a different intro than the above version. It contains the bridge instead of the rap verse.
The Above The Rim soundtrack version (4:07) is a combination of the above two versions. It contains the bridge instead of the rap verse. The song opens with the spoken "like that y'all" like the (4:54) version. It also runs slightly slower and it has a different vocal take for the first verse and first chorus.
Given this info, here's how I would classify the song:
It's About Time (LP version, but not the hit version)
Remixes (neither the LP or 45 version)
Above The Rim (soundtrack version)

The comment (remix) would also suffice for the Remixes CD (4:54).
