Mariah Carey - Someday & Emotions promos

Since promo CD info hasn't been provided for these two, I thought I'd post what I've found. I do not own these discs, so perhaps someone who does can fill us in on 1) the actual run times, and 2) if they recall hearing/playing any of the various versions on the air during their chart runs.

"Someday" CSK 73561
1. Album Version (4:06)
2. New 7" Jackswing (4:40)*
3. New 7" Straight (4:16)
4. New 12" House (6:50)

*It was stated in another thread that some cassette singles and some 7" vinyl singles contained this mix.

UPDATED: The following promo has been discovered to be fake. I'm leaving the details, though, so that the rest of the thread makes sense.

"Emotions" CSK 23752 (1 of 2 promos, the other being a 1-track album version)
1. Radio Edit (3:52)
2. C&C Radio Mix (4:23)
3. C&C Club Mix (5:51)
4. C&C Club No. 1 Mix (7:44)
5. C&C Dub Dub Mix (5:45)
6. C&C Instrumental (5:03)
7. Album Version (4:08)

I asked our resident promo CD guru, Jim, if he had details about this promo, and his station never received a copy, nor was he aware that it existed. You can see the details, including cover scans, here and here.

I can't say for sure if the Radio Edit is an edit of the LP version or of one of the remixes. Looking at the scans in the second link, there is not an asterisk next to the Radio Edit or LP Version, whereas there is next to all of the remixes. This would lead me to believe that it's an edit of the LP version.

I sent the person on discogs a message to see if they could check the timing. Thanks for the tip on the YouTube video. I recreated that version, which has two edits. It cuts the repeated choruses in the middle of the song and toward the end. The edits are at 2:04 and 3:12, and each one cuts about 16.7 seconds.

my commercial cassingle issued as columbia 73977 of "emotions" contains the below tracks

1-emotions
2-vanishing

neither the cassingle's cardboard sleeve or the the cassingle face states any version but the cassingle version is the same as the full length cd/lp version running 4:06

my commercial cassingle issued as columbia 73561 of "someday" is a little bit more complicated

the carboard sleeve states the below tracks
1-someday (new 7" jackswing)
2-alone in love (no description)

the cassingle itself says
1-someday (album version)
2-alone in love (no description)

i don't know if this is an oversight or maybe someone exchanged another sleeve/cassingle for mine.....and maybe there really is a "new 7" jackswing" version out there.....

but the version that is on my commercial cassingle is identical to the cd/lp version running 4:05

I'm confused on recreating the radio edit for
"Emotions." Can someone point me to exact edit points?
