Can anyone tell me which domestic and foreign CDs have the US single mix and the European single mix?

I paid to upgrade my service a couple days ago but I still don't have access to the updated database, so I can't even look up which domestic CDs of the past year have the US single mix, and I think there's at least one now ("Playlist"?)

There's also a foreign CD with a single mix of the song on this CD (Very Best Of):

Does anyone have this CD and can tell whether it has the US or European single mix or album mix?

"Playlist" is the only readily available CD with the U.S. 45 version. It was also available on the "Hits" promo CD, which is very hard to find.

"Essential" contains the non-U.S. 45 version.

I can't speak to the other CD you referenced.

This is correct. "Playlist" is the ONLY commercial CD where you can find the Single Remix of Bad Boy, which was also the single version around the world. That other remix from 1992 was made for the 1992 Greatest Hits album.
There are two music videos for the song: the first, and best, one takes place at the beach but sadly it features the Album Version; the second one features the Single Remix and the cast of Cats (!).

Wow, I don't have that rare version. Nor have I ever seen it. But I'd love to. Has it appeared on any DVD release? Is it on YouTube? I always saw the cats version on VH1/MTV. Did they play this beach version at the very beginning?

The full video used to be in YouTube:

But f****n' Sony took it down... and that just happened very recently.   VEVO then uploaded the video, but only the first two minutes! WTF? It's too bad because the video is very funny.

OOH! Not everything is lost... it's still in Daily Motion:

And here's the VEVO version:

Wow, I'd never seen that original video before, only the more played one. And you're right, it is funny. Too bad there hasn't been a Gloria Estefan DVD release with all her music videos, including this one. (I think I have a VHS release from years ago, but it didn't have this.)
