4 Non Blondes - What’s Up

I am confused as to what the official Billboard cassette
single timing on the Interscope label really is. Earlier
in this thread it was reported to be 4:55 and now Paul
Haney is saying that the Record Research cassette single on
another label is the official single and is a DJ Miko
remix. What gives here?

Got it now!

Re: the DJ Miko version, on Discogs, there are two cassette singles. One says it has these tracks:

3:47 Extended Clap Attack
3:50 Night Ground Mix

The other says it has these tracks:

3:47 4 B's Mix
3:50 Extended Clap Attack

Is the music on the tapes the same, or are those tracklists accurate? (notwithstanding the fact that they are not full-length versions)

FWIW, the UK CD single version is the "Radio Edit" which is the 4 B's Mix, minus a 14-second section at 2:24 (cut on the downbeat so the vocal resumes there), and faded early, reaching silence at 4:13 (previous posts said 4:14 but when I trim leading silence it hits total silence at 4:13.25). The NOW 28 CD fades to silence at 4:06. The Disco Queens: The 90s US CD from 1997 also has this edit and fades it a little shy of 3:59.

The Radio Edit was released in the UK in early August 1994, so it seems unlikely that it was getting US airplay before then. This would have been in the middle of its Hot 100 chart run.
