The printed time of the promo CD is 4:11, but the actual time is 4:10.

Database updated.]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2025 08:27:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=66180&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#66180 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=66173&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#66173 Author: Todd Ireland

Regarding Paula Abdul's "Straight Up", the database does not currently account for the 1-track promo CD single release on Virgin PRCD2539 that Jim reported earlier in this message thread. I don't have a copy of it myself; however, my notes indicate that the track's actual run time is 4:10 (the CD label states a time of 4:11 with no version description listed) and is identical to both the single and album version. It's been years since I wrote down this info and can't recall offhand how I confirmed it (presumably from another forum member or an audio rip that had been uploaded on YouTube at one time?). Thus, if anyone can corroborate the promo CD single's run time for "Straight Up", please let us know so that we can incorporate this into the song's title notes.]]> Sat, 22 Mar 2025 22:48:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=66173&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#66173 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51486&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51486 Author: Jody Thornton

I only ever heard this edit on the video. I knew that there was a promo edit, but never heard it on-air.

Hykker wrote: Unmentioned so far is the 7" promo which is shown as an edit and is listed as running 3:50. The intro is shortened, maybe a slightly earlier fade. Scans available on request.

Interesting that this 3:50 edit which was released on
7" promo vinyl wasn't used for the promo CD (by the
way, it was used for the video as well and can be
easily recreated using the album version).

Anybody remember hearing one over the other on the
radio?

And just to clarify further, the 3:50 version that Ron referred to earlier is
the UK copy found on the Now V/A comps. Based on this info, there
appears to be two different 3:50 versions: the US promo edit and the
UK early fade. ]]> Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:30:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51416&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51416 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51415&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51415 Author: eriejwg

I stand corrected. Hykker is right. The 4:11 version has
Paula's vocal coming in at :20 in. The DJ edit has her
vocal starting at :10 in.

Guess the DJ edit will need to be looked at more closely.]]> Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:22:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51415&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51415 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51414&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51414 Author: eriejwg

My copy is from Greatest Hits and runs 3:48. Ron is
usually pretty good at determining whether a song is an
edit or an early fade. I'd go with the DJ edit being an
early fade.]]> Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:18:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51414&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51414 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51413&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51413 Author: prisdeej

crapfromthepast wrote: My edition of Pat's book indicates that DJ 45 copies ran 3:50, while commercial copies ran 4:11 and 4:57. The 3:50 version is just an early fade of the LP version, and can be recreated with a 24-beat fade from 3:33.0-3:48.0. (Times from CD Forever Your Girl.)

Just confirming for anyone who may know? Is the 3:50 dj edit an early fade of the LP version or is the intro shortened as Hykker mentioned?]]> Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:35:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=940&PID=51413&title=paula-abdul-straight-up-promo#51413
