Listening more closely, I think this shows the signs of an in-house creation. Someone did a nice job recording the synthesizer and base and then crossfading them into the repeating guitar lick that's taken from the end of the song. I couldn't find these elements in either the extended or dub versions of the song, and as far as I know, there aren't any other mixes. Guessing this must have been passed along from station to station. Keeping my fingers crossed that someone on this board may have worked at a station that played it, or at least knows its origins.

If you want to hear it in an actual aircheck, listen here at the 1:04 mark:

Anyone know the origin of this extended intro version of
Cradle of Love? I can't find anything on Discogs.

Per the YouTube poster's comments, they had to re-edit
the
middle of the song due to missing audio, but this intro
was definitely played on WLOL-FM, Minneapolis in 1990
(I've heard it on multiple airchecks).

See the US commercial copies were (4:31), that is some short of the CD's (in range from about 4:36 to 4:40 (except one)). It this an early fade issue also? I have the UK CDsingle (Chrysalis IDOLCD 14) which runs 4:06 (+/-). It is a Edit (+ Extended mix (6.27)), and is probably the same as the US 45 DJ copy. ]]> Sun, 28 Jun 2015 05:45:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43930&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43930 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43926&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43926 Author: Bwci Bo

I managed to solve this one myself. Aaron is correct. It is just an early fade, with the fade starting at approximately 3:53 (just as Billy lets out an "oowwwwwwww").

Nice and easy.]]> Fri, 26 Jun 2015 03:46:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43919&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43919 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43887&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43887 Author: Bwci Bo

Thanks Aaron. An early fade would make things nice and easy!

Yes, and I'll try to post details ASAP. From memory, it's just an early
fade. ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2015 22:57:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43886&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43886 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43883&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43883 Author: Bwci Bo

The database states that dj copies of Cradle Of Love run 4:05.

Can this be edited down from the LP and commercial 45 version?   ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2015 18:21:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8380&PID=43883&title=billy-idol-cradle-of-love#43883
