So no versions exist on CD that have the f curse as Aaron remembered? Dan, did the cassette you have contain the f curse and the loop?

I haven't located it yet. I think it's probably in the one, huge storage box in my closet that I haven't checked yet that has a few hundred Cassette Singles/Maxi- Singles. I have to go to work in a little while, but I will make sure to check for it either later tonight or sometime tomorrow and report back. |

OK, I finally dug out my Cassette Single copy of "Hold On" and I can confirm what Ed wrote almost 14 years ago to the day. My copy, like Ed's, has the vocal loop and the line, "He'll Want
To Have You". On a side note: To me, the word "have" is sung in such a way that if you weren't paying full attention while you were listening, it might sound like she's saying, "He'll want to F You" (just the letter F, not the actual 4 letter word). |

Does anyone recall this being played on Top 40 radio back in the day?
Did they actually play the full acapella intro? I seem to recall my local CHR started with the beat after “Yooouuuu” … but perhaps that was just a regional edit. |

I don't recall hearing an acapella intro. |

I seem to recall a local urban station playing the full acapella intro. I also seem to recall that the local Top 40 station played the edit starting with the beat after the long "Youuuuuu....". |

The "Radio Edit" on PRCD 3386 does not have any part of the acapella intro. It opens with an instrumental intro. Cut 2 on this same disc, the "Edited Version," starts on the "yooouuuuuu" of the acapella intro.

That's the one I was referring to. It's all I ever heard on Top 40 radio at the time. To add to the confusion of this song, there is another edit on the "New Jack Swing Gold" VA compilation that runs just under 4 minutes. No acapella intro at all and it opens cold with a slightly different intro than the "Radio Edit" Aaron described. No idea where this edit originated, or if it was previously released or had any airplay anywhere. Edited by thecdguy |
