The LP version on the promo CD single starts with the drums, but it is
definitely a different mix from the Video Mix. ]]> Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:35:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7625&PID=38843&title=black-cat-janet-jackson#38843 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7625&PID=38840&title=black-cat-janet-jackson#38840 Author: eriejwg

Even though the 45 version on CD is readily available, my
curiosity wonders something. Since the "Video Mix/Short
Solo" and the LP version differ by only a couple seconds,
they are two different mixes, correct? As Eric A. stated in
2007, the LP version ..."starts with the snarling cat, and
ends with a fade" and the video mix starts with drums,
correct?]]> Thu, 15 Aug 2013 20:12:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7625&PID=38840&title=black-cat-janet-jackson#38840 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7625&PID=38838&title=black-cat-janet-jackson#38838 Author: Todd Ireland

Thanks very much for the confirming this, Aaron.

I've now discovered there's another thread already dedicated to Black Cat - Janet Jackson. For some reason, nothing turned up about this song when I tried using the message board search engine last night. At any rate, my apologies for the duplicate thread.

Regarding Janet Jackson's "Black Cat", I believe the "45 version" comment listed next to the Design Of A Decade 1986/1996 CD (A&M 314540399) in the database is incorrect. If I'm not mistaken, this CD actually contains the "video mix/long solo" DJ edit.

Does anyone know if the "video mix/long solo" edit and one the "featuring Vernon Reid" edit are identical tracks, or are these two distinctly different versions?]]> Wed, 14 Aug 2013 20:08:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7625&PID=38834&title=black-cat-janet-jackson#38834
