As long as we've bumped this up...

The (4:21) edit is the only version I have on CD, and it
turns up on the promo CDs B.L.A.S.T. Modern Rock Program
#16, Hot Hits Pop Vol. 44, and Top Hits USA
T319 and Top Hits USA RH37, all released in
1996. It's denoted as "Edit" on the Top Hits discs.

Thought I'd bump up this thread since the commercial cassette single info for Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars" was never added to the database.]]> Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:53:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=32198&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#32198 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10262&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10262 Author: Pat Downey

pat

are you saying the commercial cassingle states on the cardboard sleeve "lp version" which we know runs 4:51 but that the actual song times out to 4:23?....if that is the case, it's another example of record company carelessness......]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 11:07:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10258&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10258 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10257&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10257 Author: eriejwg

Just got my cassette single of "Counting Blue Cars" and sure enough the label states this is the LP version running (4:51) but it is not the LP version as my copy runs (4:23) which I am guessing is what is called the "edit" on the dj cd single.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 06:17:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10253&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10253 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10145&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10145 Author: aaronk

Our station also played the acoustic live version, but much less often than the studio edit. Also, I've noticed more than one occasion where Promo Only made their own edits, so it's very possible that the 4:28 version was not officially released.

I can conjure up two possibilities as to why this happens. First, they have a production deadline to meet each month. If the record label hasn't yet sent them the DJ edit of a new release that they want to include, they may have to pull it from the album---either issuing the full length album version or making their own edit. A second possibility is that a song is gaining a lot of airplay even though the record company hasn't released it as a single. They may opt to shorten a long album version as a courtesy to the stations who subscribe. (This recently happened with Akon's "Don't Matter," which is not the official Radio Edit issued by Universal.)]]> Sun, 03 Jun 2007 18:37:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10145&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10145 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10129&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10129 Author: cmmmbase

I have the commercial cassette single, and yes it lists the version as the lp version (4:51).]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2007 19:44:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10129&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10129 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10128&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10128 Author: edtop40

a cassette single listed on ebay claims to state the A-side of the cassingle contains the "lp version".....but, alas, it has NO running times listed.....let us know what you find out, pat....]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2007 17:35:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10128&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10128 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10125&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10125 Author: Pat Downey

My entry in the database was based on Joel Whitburn's Hot 100 Annual time for this cassette single which is stated as (4:21). I just ordered a copy of the cassette single and will report back with my findings when it arrives.]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2007 15:04:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2164&PID=10125&title=dishwalla-counting-blue-cars#10125
