Janet - What Have You Done For Me Lately

This is another one that cannot be exactly re-created from the LP version. The echo at the end is different on the 45 than it is on the LP version. On the LP, you'll hear the keyboard echo with the vocal, but on the 45 only the vocal echoes.

If it's the disc in the 100s, it's not the proper version.

I thought The Final did a fantastic job of covering it on a greatest hits comp even if it did not have all the singles versions.

I'm pretty sure every wham edit has made CD already.

I have high hopes for the Janet "Japanese Singles Collection." Tower Japan is listing run times, and for the "Control" album singles, they match the single lengths. Unfortunately, for her second (pre-"Control") album, different
singles were issued in Japan than in the US, so none of the single edits from her second album are included. Any versions listed here are what is listed on the Tower.jp website.

1. Young Love (Edited Version) 00:03:42
2. Don't Stand Another Chance 00:04:19

"Young Love" appears to be the correct 7" version, which is an edit of the LP version. I did not carefully A/B with the 45 to be 100% sure. "What Have You Done For Me Lately" is an edit of the LP version--not the correct US 7" mix. "Nasty" is an edit of the LP version--not the correct US 7" mix. "Let's Wait Awhile" is the LP version--not the remix. I didn't check any tracks beyond those.

I wonder if they've used the edits created in 1995 for the international version of Design Of A Decade.

New edits similar in length to original single versions were made for several of the songs to accommodate two additional tracks on that edition of the album.
