The UK often got the short end of the stick with the mixes of US hits! I still shudder when I think about playing the UK version of 'Tell Me Why' and hearing the terrible single mix by Dakeyne instead of the much better Radio Remix Edit that I heard on US radio. The money I spent on import CDs trying to track down radio versions and the frustration when the CD didn't contain the version I'd been listening to!

On the 3 disc reissue of the "What You don't Know" album, Cherry Pop listed the 5.19 Suave Mix as "When I Looked at Him ('Suave' Mix) (Acoustic Version - U.S. Edit)", it's probably safe to assume they wanted to differentiate it from the shorter European Edit as I don't think it was listed as the U.S. Edit on any previous release.

The disc is in storage but I have a FLAC copy of the 4.02 Edit should you wish to review it?

My memory fails me again. It turns out I have:

"Suave Mix" (Acoustic Version) - 5:19

It's on the Expose "Playlist" CD. I gave it a listen. Without A-B'ing, it seems like an edited version of what's on the album.

And I didn't even know about this 4:02 edit - too bad it's poorly edited, Ben (MangoMusic). Guess I'll skip searching for that UK/EU CD single.]]> Sun, 18 May 2025 13:39:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=66714&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#66714 <![CDATA[Expose - When I Looked At Him : Todd Ireland wrote:I have a...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=66707&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#66707 Author: MangoMusic

I have a couple of things to note regarding Expose's "When I Looked at Him":

First, the database currently doesn't mention that CD copies of the What You Don't Know album (Arista 8532) contains a 7:00 version of "When I Looked at Him" called the "Suave Mix" (as Gordon has previously pointed out). This is probably worth noting in the database since the 7:00 "Suave Mix" also appears on Expose's Greatest Dance Mixes CD (Thump 206579024), which is presently designated with a generic "remix" comment. I initially thought the "Suave Mix" might be a 12" single version; however, I am unable to find any evidence of a 12" single release for this song (there is no such listing on the Discogs or Ebay websites). Therefore, the What You Don't Know CD album appears to be the origin of this version.

Second, commercial single copies of "When I Looked at Him" all contain the following track listing and run times:

1) Single version - 4:17
2) "Suave Mix" (Acoustic Version) - 5:19

This is pertinent because the "'Suave Mix' (Acoustic Version)" currently appears on one database CD with the comment: (suave mix). That said, I'm thinking it would be worth expanding that particular comment so that it reads more completely and accurately, such as:

("Suave Mix" (Acoustic Version), which appears on the flip-side of cassette and vinyl single copies).

By the way, I'm just curious if anyone recalls hearing (or playing) this version of "When I Looked at Him" played on the radio back in the day? (I personally do not.)

There also exists a shorter edit of the Suave Mix (Accoustic Version) which runs at 4.02. The intro is quite poorly edited (in my opinion) and features an early fade. It can be found on the UK/EU CD Single.

"When I Looked at Him" was/is my favorite song of 1989. I love the Suave Mix, too - and only knew of it being on the "What You Don't Know" album at the time. I knew it was 7 minutes but was unaware of the 5:19 acoustic version until now. Is this just an edit of the 7:00 version, and if so, I'm curious if anyone knows where the edit points are. As much as I love the Suave Mix, the original single mix is my favorite. And if I recall correctly, the album mix was pretty muddy compared to the single (my memory has been tested a lot since coming back to this chat a few days ago! I haven't thought about these things for years)]]> Sun, 04 May 2025 14:01:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=66576&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#66576 <![CDATA[Expose - When I Looked At Him : Todd Ireland wrote: ("Suave...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=65866&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#65866 Author: torcan

I love the "suave mix (acoustic version)" and remember
hearing it a few times in mid-afternoon on my go-to top
40 station. WMJQ (102.5 from Buffalo) sometimes would
play either 12-inch single versions or other varying
versions during the mid-day shift at times in the late
'80s. I remember hearing the 12-inch version of Taylor
Dayne's "I'll Always Love You" around the same time.

When I got the 45 I was aware of this mix and that's
usually the version I'll play whenever I'm in the mood to
hear the song. ]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2025 08:55:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=65866&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#65866 <![CDATA[Expose - When I Looked At Him : Thanks for this update, Todd!...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=65864&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#65864 Author: aaronk

The full title on the "Dance Remixes" cd is "Suave Mix" (acoustic version) and yes it is identical to the version found on the "What You Don't Know" cd track 13, the "Suave Mix".]]> Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:55:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=28113&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#28113 <![CDATA[Expose - When I Looked At Him : Besides the single mix and album...]]> https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2776&PID=28099&title=expose-when-i-looked-at-him#28099 Author: EdisonLite

Besides the single mix and album mix of "When I Looked At Him", the "What You Don't Know" CD also has an extra cut at the end called the "When I Looked At Him (Suave Mix)", clocking in around 7 minutes. However, I've also seen listings for other versions of this song clocking in at 7 minutes, one called the "remix" and one called the "Acoustic version". I've also seen a different Expose CD that lists a 7 minute version called the "Acoustic Version/Suave Mix". I'm starting to think that maybe there's just one 7 minute version with all these descriptions, but does anyone know for sure? Are there actually two different 7 minute versions? Pat, your database lists a 6:59 "acoustic version" on the "Dance Remixes" CD (which I don't have). Can you compare that version with the "Suave Mix" at the end of the Expose/"What You Don't Know" CD and determine if they are one and the same? Thanks.
