In L.A., I mainly heard a more urban-ish mix of "Baby Baby" on CHR radio. I didn't like it and always preferred the LP mix. Same with "Good For Me". However, for "Every Heartbeat" I preferred the single mix. And for "That's What Love Is For", IIRC the single and album versions were the same except for a guitar playing the solo (unless that was just in the video!)]]> Thu, 01 May 2025 10:49:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6777&PID=66512&title=amy-grant-baby-baby#66512 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6777&PID=66125&title=amy-grant-baby-baby#66125 Author: Todd Ireland

FWIW, from 1949-1950 and then again from around 1959 to
1964 there were 7-inch 33-1/3 RPM singles as well, which
even RCA Victor (inventor of the 45) got on board with,
but they were a flop with consumers, so most of them went
into jukeboxes (Seeburg was a big proponent of the
format).

And as for cassette singles, they were introduced by
I.R.S. Records (who trademarked the term "Cassingle") in
1982, beginning with a 25,000-copy test market release of
the Go-Go's "Vacation" in Atlanta. But you're right that
cassingles didn't really take off until the late 1980s,
when 45 sales were rapidly declining.

Back to the topic -- the LP version of "Baby Baby" is
what I always heard on the radio, not any of the remixes.

This is a stellar post.

Todd Ireland wrote: It is all becoming clearer to me now, Aaron, and I agree with everything you're saying in your analysis. Also, I tend to prefer using the term "single version" over "45 version" for the reasons you state and am glad to know that it may not be such a terrible ordeal to switch out these terms throughout the entire database. I'm sure I'll have even more comments once the forthcoming "version table" platform is implemented. For now, I think I've opined enough and also would like to see more forum members weigh in with their own thoughts and opinions. So how 'bout it, guys!

Your feedback has been super helpful, and it's partly my fault for not being clearer several posts sooner. It made sense in my head; I just couldn't figure out why nobody could read my mind!]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2025 09:03:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6777&PID=66112&title=amy-grant-baby-baby#66112 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6777&PID=66108&title=amy-grant-baby-baby#66108 Author: Todd Ireland

aaronk wrote: I think this is where the confusion has come in. The policy since the beginning has not been just that it's on any commercial 2-track single; it's that the dominant 2-track single at the time is considered to be the one with the "official" single version. That means for songs charting between 1955 to around 1989 (maybe Ed or Paul H. can verify), it's the vinyl 45. From around 1990 to 1995, we've considered it to be the cassette single. And from 1996 until things went to downloads it was the 2-track CD single. Again, someone would need to verify the actual dates/years, as I'm not 100% sure.

I have created a separate message board thread to help serve as a reference guide highlighting the most popular 2-track commercial single formats by year from 1988 through 2005.
