There is a 3:12 version of Iesha by Another Bad Creation that has shown up on a couple of cd's like "Absolutely '90s" on Hip-O Records. Can anyone pass along the original source for this 3:12 version?

There is a mix called the 7" Version, but I'm not sure of the run time; I've only seen a listing for it online. I can tell you this much, TM Century's HitDisc series has the 3:12 version you are talking about, so it is likely that the promo single used this version. I cannot say for sure if the promo single has the 7" Version or a different edit.

I've been trying to track down the original source of this 3:12 version of Another Bad Creation's "Iesha" for a while now. I'm inclined to believe this is a radio edit that came from a promo single release, but I still haven't been able to substantiate this.

I have now a photo copy of the dj cd single of Iesha which has 4 different versions on it:
1) LP version (4:30)
2) Stupid Club mix (7:15)
3) 7" version (3:10)
4) Mental Mix (4:23
This seems rather straight forward that the 45 version ran 3:10 however Whitburn lists the running time as 4:07. Does anyone have the commercial cassette single to verify the actual running time?

Pat:
A while back, I posted some info regarding the "Iesha" commercial cassette single on the "Single/album distinctions..." message thread. Edtop40 has a cassingle copy and he says it's the same as the "LP version", except the single fades out a few seconds sooner at 4:17. He also noted the cassette single's label and cardboard sleeve both specifically state "LP version". What's interesting here is I seem to recall reading somewhere that commercial vinyl 45 copies feature the 3:12 edit, which would certainly make sense here given that this edit is called the '7" version'.

my commercial cassingle contains the "lp version" as the A-side.....while it IS the lp version the song fades out quickly for 0:04 from 4:14 to 4:18.....the full cd version runs 4:21.....by doing this you will have proper replicated the true 45/cassingle version....

I just pulled my copy of the commercial 45 (Motown MOTS7-2132), i haven't got time to play it tonight, however the label lists the time as 4:20 and specifys (LP Version) on the label. I have no idea if this side is the A side or if Playground on the other side is the A side.

Bumping this one up yet again... Was it ever officially confirmed that the two 3:11-3:12 database CD appearances of "Iesha" are the 7" Version found on the DJ CD single?

Todd, the answer to your question is yes (track 3). Pat earlier provided some details on this promo, but here are the full 1991 promo CD single's details:
Another Bad Creation-"Iesha" (CD45-1058)
1-(LP Version) (listed 4:30; actual 4:19)
2-(Stupid Club) (listed 7:15; actual 7:14)
3-(7" Version) (listed 3:10; actual 3:12)
4-(Mental Mix) (listed 4:23; actual 4:21)

After more than four years, it looks like we can finally put this one to rest. Thanks, Jim!

This was especially true during the '90s, and yes, it didn't seem to make much sense at times.
I always wondered exactly how they decided what to release on 7-inch during the '90s - in many cases it was the biggest hits, but there were some big hits that weren't on 7-inch, and other much smaller ones that were. Sometimes with a major artist they'd skip one - Gloria Estefan is a good example. She had one single in the mid-90s that wasn't on a 45 (it was issued as cassette-only), but all her others were. Strange how they decided not to do that one particular title on vinyl.
I also noticed on some 12-inch singles that one of the mixes was called "7-inch edit"; yet for those particular songs no actual 7-inch was released.
Head-scratching...but interesting times nonetheless! :)

Some copies of this song's parent album, "Coolin' At The Playground Ya Know!", are listed on Discogs with "Iesha" running 7:13. Is it possible there were different pressings of this album, with some copies running 7:13 for the song and others running 4:21? The 7:13 time would seem to be the "Stupid Club" mix from the promo.
