Michael Bolton--How Am I Supposed to Live

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Okay, am I the only one who has this issue? I just pulled out my Michael Bolton CD Soul Provider to compare the album version with the 7" on the Greatest Hits CD...and instead of finding the 4:49 album version, I found that my Soul Provider CD also has the 4:17 radio edit!!! I have CK 45012, but it's a BMG direct mail disc. It seems as if they used the 7" version for this pressing of the CD instead of the true album version!!!

	Hi Budaniel, Please don't forget that later pressings of the 'Soul Provider' CD had substituted single mixes of "How Am I Supposed..." & "When I'm Back On My Feet Again". Mick Guzauski remixed & edited "How Am I Supposed..." for single release; there was no album-length remix to sub, so the short single mix was used. Andy [Edited to add: The later CD pressing also contained the single mix (by David Frazer) of "How Can We Be Lovers".] Edited by AndrewChouffi

	oh man--i didn't know that. So i guess that means the disc I just ordered from amazon to get the real album version is actually going to include the radio mix as well.

	Thanks elcoleccionista. I've send you my e-mail address. Pat, it should really be noted in the database that all later editions of this CD replaced the album version with the single version, without, apparently, changing the product number.

	I have the new pressing of this cd on order and will indeed make note of differences in the pressings when I get to review the cd.

	Does anyone know if there's ANY Michael Bolton Import collection that uses the original album version instead of the 7" version? Thanks.

	https://www.discogs.com/es/Michael-Bolton-Soul- Provider/master/52306 Can anybody see the Discogs' page for Soul Provider (the parent album for "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You") to check which CD releases of that album contain the 4:48 version of "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You"?
