my commercial cassingle issued as arista 12808 does state that the version is the "single version" but it is indeed identical to the 4:02 lp version from the cd "another night"]]> Sat, 01 May 2010 12:28:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=26226&title=run-away-real-mccoy#26226 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=14333&title=run-away-real-mccoy#14333 Author: Pat Downey

I have a dj cd single promo (Arista 2808) that states a running time of (4:02) and actually runs (4:03).]]> Sun, 03 Feb 2008 15:08:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=14333&title=run-away-real-mccoy#14333 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=14282&title=run-away-real-mccoy#14282 Author: Todd Ireland

Since we've accumulated many knowledgable new members on this board since this thread was originally started, I thought I'd dig the thread back up to ask the following... Does anyone have an official promo CD single release of Real McCoy's "Run Away" who can share the track listing and printed/actual run times? I'm mainly wondering if the "Airplay Mix" eventually did turn up on a U.S. promo single.]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:25:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=14282&title=run-away-real-mccoy#14282 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=7403&title=run-away-real-mccoy#7403 Author: budaniel

Not sure if these are the same different versions you guys are talking
about, but there are two versions that have differences during an
instrumental break on the mixes I have on the import CD single and the
vinyl domestic 12". The version I hear on the radio in NY these days is the
Airplay Mix I from the import single, which breaks into a melody riff from
the Debbie Deb 80s freestyle song "When I Hear Music". The version I
prefer plays an 'acapella' synth riff at that point instead. On my 12", that
version is called the 'club attack mix', but I used to hear a radio edit of
this version on radio back in the day. Not sure if that's the album version.

The alternate mix you are talking about must have been on a different promo single; however, I know for sure, this mix is available on an import CD single, because I own it. The mix is called "Airplay Mix" whereas the promo single we had contained the "Radio Edit" (which was exactly the same as the album version).

The Airplay Mix was off the import single. This version was played by some of the big market radio stations who got a hold of a copy of this. I know my CHR station played this after I went to Tower Records and got the import cd single. Arista would not officially release this as a single until it broke into the Top 20, then they were heavilly influenced to do this by other radio stations. I personally like the Airplay Mix better. ]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2006 14:39:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=7400&title=run-away-real-mccoy#7400 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=320&PID=1442&title=run-away-real-mccoy#1442 Author: Todd Ireland

It's my understanding that the commercial single version of Real McCoy's "Run Away" is identical to the one on the Another Night CD (Arista 18778) in spite the fact that commercial single sleeves state "single version". That being said, I seem to have a different version of "Run Away" which runs 3:51 on my Promo Only: Mainstream Radio DJ CD series. Aside from the tambourine being mixed hotter and an overall different EQ sound, this promo version is basically the same as the single/album version up until the 2:25 mark. From 2:25 to 2:40, the promo version breaks off into the "it's time to break free, whoa-oh-ay-oh, run away, whoa-oh-ay-oh" verses while the single/album version repeats the "run away, run away, run away if you want to survive" loop.   From 2:40 to 3:02, the two versions match up again. But from 3:02 to fade out they once again become different. On the album version, the male rap vocal repeats the "keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith and run away" all the way through the fade out, but this rap is not heard at all during the fade out on the promo version.

Does anyone know what exactly is this version on my Promo Only disc? Does it appear anywhere on its own official promo CD single release?
