A couple of years back I came across a website that listed Whitney Houston remixes on CD, and to my surprise there was an entry for "Just The Lonely Talking Again" from the 1987 "Whitney" album.
I didn't even know the song been released as a single, and to date I have not seen it sold anywhere or even a photo of it. The catalog number supposedly is ASCD-9697. Track listing: extended remix 7.15 edited remix 5.56 single edit 5.05 album version 5.30 Per the number, the promo CD must have been issued in between "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" and "Love Will Save The Day". I read that a promo 12" single was also released. I do have an mp3 file with the extended remix, and there are vocals not present on the original version and instrumental parts, neither of which could have been recreated from the original version, so I'm sure it's official. Does anyone have any more information on the CD, chart info if exists, etc? |

I do remember seeing that promo single long, long ago, in the mid-90s. It never charted, and was not commercially released as a single anywhere in the world. I think it wasn't doing well in airplay, so it was pulled.

Wow, thanks Brian. There must be very few copies around because I see the other promo cd singles from that album quite often.

Has anybody ever received this promo CD at the radio
station? I'm still intrigued by it, in 15 years it's the first time I see this for sale online, it's currently selling at Ebay for (of course) a very high price. |

Wow, its starting price was $1, and now, 22 bids later, it's at $365! And there's still one more day to go before the auction closes.

To Brian W:
I'm pretty sure this track was released to Urban AC formats & Quiet Storm programmers & not really meant to chart. I don't think it was meant to be the 5th official single & then pulled (switched with "Love will save The Day") because of lack of support. Of course I could be wrong... Andy |

You could always buy it and resell it. Current price is $500. |

serviced with a "Just The Lonely Talking Again" promo CD single at our Top 40 station in 1988. "Niche format" promotion (such as the Urban AC/Quiet Storm formats thoery that Andy espouses here) isn't something we obviously discuss a whole lot here, on a Top 40 Board. But labels trying to maximize profits in any way possible was/is like breathing to them, and showing such "niche" formats a little "specialty release love" has always gone a long way. |

discogs is now showing what appears to be a commercial 7" picture sleeve (with a Jermaine Jackson duet on the b-side)!
