If anyone is interested in the other 45 version, i.e. the "Unedited DJ Version" that does not open with acapella voices, it is a simple edit of the original mix. To
recreate from the original U.S. Dancin' on the Ceiling CD, you must edit ~1:27.92125 seconds from 3:29.22807 to 4:57.14932. The edit should be right on the vocal
("Se..."). No additional fade necessary, as the resulting file will run to approximately 4:22 plus outro silence.

I don't see that this version was released commercially in the U.S. but it did turn up (as noted upthread) as the B-side of the promo 45 and as B1 of the promo 12" single.
Looking worldwide via Discogs, it appears to have been used as B1 on several commercial 12" singles as well and appears on the German CD single as "Edited Version".

Listening to the version on the "Dancing On the Ceiling" CD vs. the
vinyl LP
version. The CD version does indeed run about 29 seconds longer but
the
vinyl LP version is not just a faded version of what's on the CD. There's
definitely an edit.

I removed 4:27.613 through 4:56.920 from the version on the "Dancing
On
the Ceiling" CD version and it sounds like the vinyl LP version and runs
the
correct time. There are many many people who are better at edits than
I am,
so if somebody wants to double check my work, I'd appreciate it.

I attempted to buy this 45 version from the Motown Year by
Year 1987 album on iTunes but it is only available in the US
iTunes store. If anybody is able to help me get it, please PM
me. Happy Holidays!]]> Thu, 25 Dec 2014 22:42:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=42793&title=lionel-richie-se-la#42793 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=30470&title=lionel-richie-se-la#30470 Author: abagon

"Se La" on the vinyl LP "Dancing On The Ceiling" ran (5:21), the listed time is "5:22" on the LP record label. (Motown 6158ML)
The reason I post is because 2 CD entries of "Dancing On The Ceiling" on the database indicates (5:49) and (5:53) each.

The iTunes track labeled "Sela" is actually "Ballerina Girl" (which explains the time listed). The very next track is the LP version of "Se La" but it's labeled "Ballerina Girl." ]]> Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:04:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=29499&title=lionel-richie-se-la#29499 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=29497&title=lionel-richie-se-la#29497 Author: NightAire

Bizarre... on iTunes right now, you can find a copy of the album version of "Se La" on the remastered edition of Dancing On The Ceiling, running the expected 5:53. See it here.

You can ALSO purchase Lionel Richie singing "Sela" from Dancing On The Ceiling, not listed as remastered, running 3:38. (???) See that oddity here.

What gives? Anybody know? Is this a simple time misprint on the older version, or do they really have a chopped version of the song which doesn't match the 7"?

I'd love to know... but not enough to purchase it! :-D]]> Tue, 22 Mar 2011 22:06:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=29497&title=lionel-richie-se-la#29497 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=13474&title=lionel-richie-se-la#13474 Author: jimct

My promo 45 has the listed (4:29), actual (4:27) version, same as the commercial 45, on one side - this is the one jebsib refers to in this thread's opening post, with the "acappella female chant" intro. But the other side of my promo 45 includes a version with a :31 second, mostly-keyboard intro, has a listed time of (4:20) and an actual time of (4:21). And, unlike the stock 45v, this side of my promo 45 was produced by Lionel Richie and James Anthony Carmichael. ]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:53:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1973&PID=13474&title=lionel-richie-se-la#13474
