OK, here's a stupid question for the class (as I go more vintage Aerosmith here).

Both the stock 45 and LP versions of "Sweet Emotion" have the word "ass" in the song. Was there a promo
version that didn't have the word? (Guessing its #36 chart peak at Billboard in 1975 might be related
to top-40 radio not wanting to play it unless the word was excised, although part of it is also that the 45 was
a really badly executed edit--the whole instrumental intro kinda makes the song [and makes a perfect deejay
talk-up], and they got rid of the whole thing.)]]> Mon, 10 May 2021 08:55:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=58146&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#58146 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8194&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8194 Author: Gary

To answer my own question with the help of Jim, The Closer To The Edge has more guitars and "yelling" from Steven Tyler. The Further From The Edge edit is less guitars and less "yelling". It surprised me that the Closer to The Edge was shorter than the Further From The Edge as the less edgier would be more appealing to CHR/Pop. But maybe that's why they came up with mixes just for CHR.

Gary: I am awful at determining such details. I only like to make statements that I am 100% certain of on this Board. So, instead, I will shoot both versions out to you, to assist you in your own research conclusions. ]]> Sun, 17 Dec 2006 23:32:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8183&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8183 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8178&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8178 Author: Gary

Yes you are correct, the orchestra intro blends into the vocals on the [Pop Mix]. On the [Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro] the vocals start out cold with instruments beginning around :01. I did not notice any difference besides the opening section that the [Pop mix] is any different from the [Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro].]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 18:40:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8150&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8150 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8142&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8142 Author: Todd Ireland

I seem to remember that the Pop Mix is a slightly different mix than the LP version. I'm going from a very hazy memory here, but I think the strings were replaced in one of those versions by another instrument.

Can anyone confirm or deny?]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 12:55:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8142&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8142 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8139&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8139 Author: jimct

You're welcome, Todd. Now, "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" as promised. THREE different 1-track promo CD singles:

CSK41241
1-Pop Mix (listed time 4:58; actual time 4:57)(this is the version we played)

CSK41242
1-Rock Mix (listed 4:58; actual 4:29)

CSK41306
1-Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro (listed 4:28, actual 4:27)

Despite the :29 second CSK41242 listed timing error, which makes the last two CDs' timings very close to each other, they are still, in fact, different mixes.]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 12:46:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8139&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8139 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1515&PID=8137&title=aerosmith-dj-edits#8137 Author: Todd Ireland

If I were a betting man, I'd say the 4:19 version of "Livin' on the Edge" appearing on Aerosmith's Devil's Got a New Disguise - The Very Best of CD is the "Closer to the Edge" DJ edit found on Jim's promo CD single (PRO-CD-4498).

Thanks for that info, Jim!
