Amy Grant - "Baby Baby"

aaronk wrote: Was this another Amy Grant hit where airplay was somewhat split between the 7" Heart In Motion Mix and the LP Version? I watched a fair amount of MTV during this time, and I don't ever recall seeing anything but the regular LP version video. There are people on YouTube who claim that a video for the remix was also aired. I have a note that jimct's station KC101 aired "Cut 1" of the promo CD, which is the LP version. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I only heard the LP version on my local top 40 station. Here are the promo CD contents: 75021 7512 2 1. LP Version (listed & actual 3:56) 2. 7" No Getting Over You Mix (listed & actual 4:01) 3. 7" Heart In Motion Mix (listed & actual 3:50) 4. 12" No Getting Over You Mix (listed & actual 5:57) 5. 12" Heart In Motion Mix (listed & actual 6:02)

I'm going out on a limb here and saying the "7 inch Heart In Motion Mix" was mostly what was played on stations around these parts. At least that's how I remember it because, I too was disappointed when I discovered
the album version wasn't the same as what was played on the radio. I was working for a company that was regularly receiving HitDiscs, so my search was short to find the "Right" version.

Apologies to PopArchivist!

Though this falls outside the criteria of the forum, the LP version always feels more like the "hit" to me since it was the only version MTV and VH1 played.

Hourly.

For months.

If it's rarely played, that's really sad because that was one of the best #1 songs of the early '90s. A great pop song. I mostly heard the album version but I recall the remix (which I, too, felt killed the vibe of the original) was played on the radio. And maybe the video was remixed, as was pointed out here. I figured they did this mix, and especially that of "That's What Love Is For" (and to some extent, "Good For Me") to aim for urban radio play.

That said, the single remix of "Every Heartbeat" is amazing, and I find the LP version very disappointing.

I guess in many cases, it depends on which version we heard first - and over and over. Then, the 'other' version is a disappointment :)

Every radio station I've ever listened to has played either the album version or the "No Getting Over You Mix" of "Baby Baby". I've never heard the "Heart in Motion Mix" until just now when I played it online... and it's awful. Unlike most dance remixes, it actually sounds slower and more depressing than the original!

I agree the LP version was what was played back then.
