Does anyone know if there was a difference between the DJ 45 and the commercial 45 on "Janie's Got A Gun"? I have it on a TM Century Gold Disc, which contains DJ versions of most songs, and not only is it shorter, but it has different lyrics.

In the last verse, the LP version says "She's gonna take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain." But the version that top 40 radio stations played (and on my TM disc), those lyrics are "She's gonna take him down easy, he's standing in the pouring rain." Were those lyrics used on the commercial 45 as well?

Aaron:

I just listened to "Janie's Got a Gun" on Aerosmith's Big Ones CD (Geffen 24716). It runs 5:29 and contains the "put a bullet in his brain" lyric. Pat states that this is the 45 version, so it appears you have a radio-only edit. I forgot all about the "standing in the pouring rain" lyric that I used to hear all the time on Top 40 radio!

Well, that means I gotta go find it. :-) How long does your copy run?

Todd, run time is 4:23. My copy of the book says "LP Version" next to the Big Ones CD. He must have changed it since the 8th Edition.

Aaron:

Yes, Pat now has "Janie's Got a Gun" listed as being the 45 version on Aerosmith's Big Ones (Geffen 24716), Young Lust: The Aerosmith Anthology (Geffen 069493119), and O Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (Columbia 86700).

By the way, I just came across some information regarding the promo CD single release for "Janie's Got a Gun". Here's the catalog number, track listing, and what is presumed to be the printed run times:

Geffen PRO-CD-3794
1) Janie's Got A Gun (CHR Edit/Remix) - 4:18
2) Janie's Got A Gun (CHR Full Intro Remix) - 4:30
3) Janie's Got A Gun - 5:19

I'm guessing that the version I have is the CHR Edit/Remix and that the printed time on the promo single is incorrect. The version on TM Century's Gold Disc runs exactly 4:23 and does not include the "intro" part that's on the LP version.

guys......just so you know.....the cassingle has a slightly different intro than the full cd version.....i've tried matching the intro that is on the cd "pump" but i can't match it correctly.....the cd "pump" has about 0:10 of banter before the song starts.....the cassingle isn't just a straight clip of the banter, it seams to have additional banter that isn't on the full cd/lp version......

FYI, this is one song, that according to Billboard and Whitburn's books, there was no commercial 45 for. I remember reading something about it at the time that Geffen wanted to release it cassette-only "to see how it would do". Even though it was an eventual top 5 hit, no 45 was ever pressed to my knowledge.

Does anyone know if there was a promo 45? It was released right around the time labels stopped doing promos on vinyl.

I just checked. I haven't paid any attention to the lengths, but all three of these CDs contain the "put a bullet in his brain" lyric.

The cassette single states LP version but it is not (the introduction is missing on the cassette single). The line "and put a bullet in his brain" is on the cassette single and the LP version however. As Ed pointed out above there is a very slight difference (fractions of a second) between the cassette single intro and the version found on "Big Ones". I have never seen a commercial vinyl single of this song nor a dj vinyl single.
