My TM library incorrectly labels "That's What Love Is For" as being the "Single Mix." The version on the disc actually runs 4:00, and has been updated in TM's online database as the "LP Edit." Was there, perhaps, a promo CD with the LP Edit?

I don't know if this helps but the single wouldn't be an LP edit. It was a completely different mix. Much more urban.
Interestingly, the music video contained the album mix because there's an electric guitar soloist playing along in the music video, and only the album mix features an elec guitar solo! |

Yes, there's no doubt that the version on my TM disc is not the single version. I just wondered if perhaps the promo CD also contained an "LP Edit," which would explain where my TM copy comes from.

Hello, Aaron.
Going by memory only, the promo CD had the single mix, the LP edit, the LP version and a longer single mix. The Amy Grant 'Smash Hits' promo sampler contained both the 'LP Version' & the 'Single Mix' (I do own this promo). Andy |

Thanks, Jim! We need to start paying you 25 cents for each promo CD listing. You'd have some nice supplemental income!

I came across an interesting promo for "That's What Love Is For," so I thought I'd pick it up. Some background about its release (from Wikipedia):
At the time of Heart in Motion's release, Grant was represented by two record labels, something of an anomaly in the industry. A&M Records marketed her music to mainstream radio and secular retailers. Word Records marketed her music to Christian radio and Christian retailers. While A&M launched Heart in Motion with "Baby Baby" as its debut single, Word Records chose not to market that song to Christian radio. Instead, Word opted to introduce the album to the Christian market with "Hope Set High", a less glitzy song with explicitly Christian-themed lyrics and references to Jesus. A&M did not release or market "Hope Set High" to mainstream radio. The second single released to pop radio was "Every Heartbeat," while Myrrh/Word Records selected "That's What Love Is For." The back insert says "from the album 'heart in motion' available in march," indicating that this single was released prior to the album. It's a 3-track disc with just the LP version and two radio spots. Myrrh 9010807150 1. That's What Love Is For (listed & actual 4:16) 2. :60 Radio Spot 3. :30 Radio Spot As far as I know, the version on this disc is simply the LP version. Nothing too exciting for Pat's database, but I thought it was at least worth sharing. |

Aaron,
The LP Edit you reference is the only version I ever heard on the radio. The single mix seems slower and out of tempo to what radio would play. I can say for certain the LP Edit was played on the NYC stations. I have the CD single and the single mix, it honestly lacks that extra "oomph" the LP edit does. In this case when reviewing 1991 in my collection, the LP edit is the hit radio version IMHO. Edited by PopArchivist |

I agree that I never heard the "Single Mix" on my local top 40 stations. I think this was a case where the LP Edit got a majority of the airplay.
