I have no such issues. Mine appears lossless. I dont remember where I got the source, but Toni Braxton has many many comps and various artists comps of the time had it too.]]> Sat, 22 Jun 2024 06:33:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=64874&title=toni-braxton#64874 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=64872&title=toni-braxton#64872 Author: VWestlife

I have been unable to find a truly lossless copy of the
4:26 "Radio Mix" of Toni's "Spanish Guitar". The several
radio promo CDs I have containing it all have MP3
compression artifacts.

Can anyone confirm whether the commercial CD singles
containing it are lossless or also transcoded from MP3?

Good catch, Ron. I updated the entries from "length" to "version."]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2024 22:20:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=64866&title=toni-braxton#64866 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=64865&title=toni-braxton#64865 Author: crapfromthepast

The database currently says that the 4:06 version of "You're Makin' Me High" on Ultimate is a "45 length".

The version of Ultimate on Qobuz lists the track as "Radio Edit", and it does indeed match the "Radio Edit" from the promo CD single.

In other words, it's a real edit, and not just an early fade, as "45 length" would indicate.

It appears that the CD single and vinyl 45 (!) also include the "Radio Edit".

I'd recommend changing the entries that currently say "LP length" to "LP version", and changing the entries that currently say "45 length" to "Single Version" or something to that effect.]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2024 19:24:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=64865&title=toni-braxton#64865 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=59260&title=toni-braxton#59260 Author: cristianmdp

I'll seize this thread to request for info on a particular Toni mix.
It's the "Passion Mix" of "Breathe again". Exclusive to the US cassette single:

"Breathe Again" (Cassingle)

Could someone please confirm if it really is a unique mix?

That wouldn't be the only time some Toni track was only released on cassette tape (not vinyl nor CD).

"You bring the world to me" (Instrumental, & Quiet Storm versions) are also exclusive to this other cassingle:

You Mean The World To Me (Cassingle)

The video of "Another sad love song" runs around 3:50.

The only difference I can hear with the "Softer Mix" is that the instrumentation is literally a little bit softer and less bass-heavy, making the vocals more prominent. It's more of a different EQ adjustment than a truly different mix.

Thanks for the extensive promo CD info, Pat and Jim. I remember being somewhat surprised at the success of "Another Sad Love Song" on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart when the song came out because I thought it carried a bit more of an urban sound than one may have been accustomed to hearing on the format at the time. Perhaps the "Softer Mix" on Jim's promo CD single was remixed slightly to accommodate AC stations, much like the electric guitar was often subdued or removed from rock-leaning songs that crossed over to AC during the late '80s to mid-'90s.

Regarding "Let It Flow", I do have a promo CD single for it. And as Arista/LaFace/etc. would sometimes do for either a "rush-released" remix promo, or one not originally planned for radio service at all, this CD has no writing/label on it, with a sticker on the jewel case stating the title/artist/name of movie. The inner groove states stock # LFPCD-4124. One track - actual time (4:24).

As for "Another Sad Love Song", here are the particulars from both my two promo CD singles and my commercial CD single; some info is repeated from earlier in this thread, but provides additional details:

-Toni Braxton--"Another Sad Love Song" (LFPCD-4047)
1-Radio Edit (listed & actual 4:11)
2-Album Version (listed 4:57; actual 5:00)
3-Album Instrumental (listed 4:55; actual 5:02)

-Toni Braxton--"Another Sad Love Song" (LFPCD-4053)
1-(Softer Mix) (listed & actual 3:56)

-Toni Braxton--"Another Sad Love Song" (73008-24049-2)
1-Remix Radio Edit (listed 4:40; actual 4:41)
2-Extended Remix (listed 5:27; actual 5:26)
3-Smoothed Out Version (listed 4:20; actual 4:22)
4-Remix Instrumental (listed & actual 5:01)
5-Album Version (listed 5:01; actual 5:00)

This is the first referencing of the "Softer Mix" version I've seen in this thread; perhaps it may prove helpful in identifying the shorter mix that has popped up on some database CDs.

Since you revisited the Toni Braxton entry "Another Sad Love Song" Todd, I can report that I have compared the (3:49) edits to the (4:08) edit and the (3:49) edit is not an early fade of the 45 version. The actual running time of the dj cd single version is (4:11) as stated on the cd. So if Edtop40 reads this, could you please retime your cassette single as your time of (4:14) seems a little long.]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 08:17:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134&PID=28567&title=toni-braxton#28567
