Did anyone ever determine for sure if the "No Rap" version is merely the LP/soundtrack version faded early?]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:01:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19185&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19185 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19184&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19184 Author: 80smusicfreak

Actually, the sleeve/insert pictured above DOES say "Manufactured in Germany" in the lower left corner, ed - but clearly made for the French market. So they may not be mismatched after all...]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:39:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19184&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19184 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19183&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19183 Author: edtop40

I like how MCA changed the song title on the insert from your import 3" CD single, ed - although I see they managed to get it right on the disc itself, lol...]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:26:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19181&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19181 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19180&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19180 Author: eriejwg

Is it possible that track 1 from your import CD, Ed, is the 'rapless' edit that is on Jim's promo CD?]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:31:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19180&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19180 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=19179&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#19179 Author: edtop40

i also have an import 3" cd single which has the (7" version) listed as the first track running 4:15.....i don't know where this version came from, because it's NOT the version on the 7" vinyl 45.....go figure

my commercial 45 as well as my commercial cassingle have the same catalog number (mca 53662) and contain the same version "on our own (with rap)" with a stated run time on the 45 of 4:30 but actually runs 4:29 on both versions......i found the correct 45 version on the cd

(S) (4:29) MCA 012157598 New Edition - All The Number Ones (45 version)

the cd is super compressed and distorted at normal levels......you need to lower the volume 3 or 4 db's for it to sound right....

Don't know if this info helps or not, but I bought this cassette single when it was out. One side was "with rap" and one side was "no rap." The only difference between the two is the intro. On the "with rap" version, it begines with the "Too hot to handle..." line. On the "no rap" version, the first line said by Bobby is "If you want somethin' done, you gotta do it yourself..." Then both versions proceed with the "I think this is gonna be another funky one" line and are identical from that point on.

I recall BOTH versions being played on various stations when this was out, so I don't know if we can call either one the definitive version.]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:42:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=17197&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#17197 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=17180&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#17180 Author: Todd Ireland

Pat:

I almost hate to reignite the debate that started this thread over 1-1/2 years ago, but since its been determined that multiple versions of "On Our Own" were played on Top 40 radio, do you agree that Jim's aforementioned promo CD info should be noted in the database?

Also, has anyone picked up the Bobby Brown The Definitive Collection CD on Geffen B0006111? It looks like this collection is comprised almost exclusively of 45 versions of Brown's Top 40 hits. I've strongly considered purchasing this disc for this reason but given that this is a 2006 release, I'm concerned about this CD being mastered with the ultra loud, grossly overcompressed audio levels plaguing so many modern CD releases. Can anybody confirm or deny if the sonics on the Definitive Collection disc suffers from the same fate?]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:49:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=17180&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#17180 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=17164&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#17164 Author: abagon

As the 45 run time info:
The actual 45 running time is (4:27), the listed time is "4:30" on the record label. (MCA 53662) ]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:57:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&PID=17164&title=bobby-brown-on-our-own#17164
