To provide an update on this, the 4:59 version on the promo CD single has a very small mix different at 4:36 compared to the LP version, which is the missing drum beat referenced earlier. The 4:59 version, therefore, cannot be edited from the LP version. The 4:59 version HAS a drum beat (at 4:36), while the LP version does not (same part occurs at 5:11 of the LP version).

By contrast, it appears the shorter 4:34 version is a straight edit of the LP version. As mentioned earlier, there is no drum beat at 4:19, which musically matches the same part of the LP version at 5:11.]]> Fri, 01 May 2020 10:50:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=54337&title=whitney-houston-miracle#54337 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=33264&title=whitney-houston-miracle#33264 Author: elcoleccionista

Hey Aaron, not sure I'm understanding your question but
that final drum beat is the same one used from the second
chorus on.]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:02:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=33264&title=whitney-houston-miracle#33264 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=33224&title=whitney-houston-miracle#33224 Author: aaronk

Or is it possible that the drum beat is in a different spot on the album? (i.e. it had been cut out of the longer DJ version, so I couldn't create the short edit from the long edit)]]> Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:31:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=33224&title=whitney-houston-miracle#33224 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=33223&title=whitney-houston-miracle#33223 Author: elcoleccionista

Thanks Aaron for noting this difference! The album
version is missing the drum beat, so the 5:03 DJ version
can be considered a remix as opposed to the 4:34 which is
only edited.

Wanted to add to this thread, I recently purchased the promo CD for "Miracle" and it features the shorter 4:34 edit.

The disc itself is almost identical to the scan provided by Ed, but also includes the listed time (4:29) in the empty space at the top left and the catalog number is changed. The catalog number on the inserts is ASCD-2222, as on the 4:59 edit, but the DISC states ASCD-2252. It appears Arista "updated" the mix midway through promotion yet used the same artwork for both releases.

The video uses the 4:59 edit. Does anyone have insight as to which was the more commonly played version at radio? Also, which of these two promos seems to be more common?

Well Ed, my friend, it looks like, (unless Arista also happened to issue an old 78RPM vinyl single for this song!), :) you appear to have singlehandedly provided us with all of the sound-carrying single formats for "Miracle". Nice job as always, sir!]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 23:16:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1121&PID=16129&title=whitney-houston-miracle#16129
