Aerosmith dj edits

Pat, I have a copy of "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" called the [Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro] that times out at 4:25, so this may be it. They remove the instrumental at the beginning and begin with the vocal.

I've never seen at 4:19 version of "Livin' On The Edge". I only have the [CHR Mix-Edit #1/No Guitar Solo] that clocks in at 4:00, and the [CHR Mix-Edit #2] that clocks in at 4:55. Can you tell us what maybe missing?

Without hearing this, this looks like an edit of the CHR Mix-Edit #2. I'll have to dig out my copy of this and the Lp version and compare.

I have 2 different promo CD singles, and a commercial CD single for "Livin' On The Edge":

PRO-CD-4498
1-Closer To The Edge Edit (listed time 4:20; actual time 4:19)
2-Further From The Edge Edit(listed 5:05; actual 5:04)
3-LP Version (listed and actual 6:07)

PRO-CD-4515
1-(CHR Mix - Edit #1/No Guitar Solo)(listed 4:01; actual 4:00)
2-(CHR Mix - Edit #2)(listed 4:52; actual 4:51)

GEFDM-21821
1-LP Version (listed and actual 6:07)
2-Acoustic (listed and actual 5:41)
3-Demo (listed 5:05; actual 5:07)
4-Previously unreleased track "Don't Stop"
5-Previously unreleased track "Can't Stop Messin'"

I will now go pull my "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" promo CD singles, and report back with details shortly.

You're welcome, Todd. Now, "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" as promised. THREE different 1-track promo CD singles:

CSK41241
1-Pop Mix (listed time 4:58; actual time 4:57)(this is the version we played)

CSK41242
1-Rock Mix (listed 4:58; actual 4:29)

CSK41306
1-Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro (listed 4:28, actual 4:27)

Despite the :29 second CSK41242 listed timing error, which makes the last two CDs' timings very close to each other, they are still, in fact, different mixes.

Todd Ireland wrote: Gary: Am I correct that the Pop Radio Edit of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" cannot be replicated simply by editing out the orchestra intro on the 45/LP version due to the fact that the orchestration bleeds into the opening verse ("I could stay awake just to hear you breathin'") on the 45/LP version? Meanwhile, other than the intro, are there any other mix differences between the two versions?

Yes you are correct, the orchestra intro blends into the vocals on the [Pop Mix]. On the [Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro] the vocals start out cold with instruments beginning around :01. I did not notice any difference besides the opening section that the [Pop mix] is any different from the [Pop Radio Edit No Orchestra Intro].
