It did. When the 45 was released (finally) in 1990, it had the same catalog number as the 1989 cassette single. The way you can tell it was issued in 1990 and not 1989 is that the prefix on the 45 is "NR" rather than "B".

The belated stock 45 of "Listen to Your Heart," by the way, contains the album version.

I've got two different promo CD singles with three different shorter mixes. There were three in all, one with a black disc on DPRO-4399 (edited version and LP version), one with a silver/gray disc on DPRO-4408 (A/C Version), and one with a red disc on DPRO-04417 (Remix, Remix Short and LP versions).

I own neither, but I've just discovered that there were TWO different promo 45s released of "Listen to Your Heart" in 1989. The first, EMI 7PRO-04409, contains the 4:30 "A/C Version" on both sides. (This, so I am told, has a synthesized sax solo instead of electric guitar during the instrumental break.) There is also a promo-only 45 from 1989 (EMI 7PRO-04420/7PRO-04422) with a 4:50 Remix on one side and 4:20 Remix Short Version on the other.

I can't speak for the 45, but I have a version of this on a MAC (Mostly AC...a promo service for radio) CD that's as you describe. I don't think I've ever heard this version on the air though I have heard custom edits with the guitar solo bridge edited out. The AC I worked at in the early 90s just played the album version.

that's when I stopped collecting current music.
sadly a lot of those songs haven't been reissued.
cudos to those who do have them...


Well, I haven't stopped collecting current music yet, but I agree with you on cassette singles. Ugh.
