 Topic: Whitney Houston - How Will I KnowPosted: 06 June 2005 at 2:13pm |

My 8th Edition of Pat's book doesn't mention anything about different versions of "How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston (other than the Junior Vasquez Remix that is included on Greatest Hits). I have the self-titled CD with this track on it, and it IS the same as the 45 version. However, I am 99% sure that LP and cassette copies of Whitney Houston contained a different mix...namely, the LP Version. Can anyone back me up on this?

Even the 10th edition does not mention this but it will be mentioned in future editions. Some pressings of the cd "Whitney Houston" Arista 8212 feature the LP version of this song running (4:27) and others feature the 45 version running (4:34).

Hmm, I didn't know the single was a different mix. Interesting. I do have the original-original pressing of her CD (the one with the original mix of "Greatest Love of All"), so I'll have to compare them.
I know there was an edit of the dance remix of "How Will I Know" that issued as the B-side of "Love Will Save the Day." I have it on a Japanese CD3 single. Edited by Brian W. |

There are at least 3 different versions of the "Whitney Houston" CD. My friend bought it right at the beginning when it had the acoustic piano version of "Greatest Love" and the album version of "How Will I Know". My later pressing (from '86 or '87) had different versions of both these songs. However, I really wanted the acoustic version of "Greatest" so I was able to track down a CD that had this version in '88 but it didn't have the early version of "How Will I know." So I know for a fact there are 3 different pressings.

It sounds to me that my CD also has the remix of How Will I Know and the acoustic Greatest Love of All.
Pat, is there any way you can post the matrix number of the CD with the original How Will I Know, if you've got it? |

Thanks! My Japanese pressing with the 45 How Will I Know and acoustic Greatest Love is hard to read, but it's either LOAL 62 or 1OA1 62 ARCD-5212.

I have a US version of the CD (ARCD 8212) with the remixed versions of "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love", and a German pressing (610 359) with the original ones.

Since we're on the topic of the versions of "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love Of All" found on different printings of the album.
Have you noticed on both, not only the production of the song, but Whitney's vocals are different? HOW WILL I KNOW: LP Version: Right after the saxophone section she repeats "how will I know" several times and then goes "hey hey, hey hey" (at 3:36). Remix Version: Right after the saxophone section she repeats "how will I know" several times and then goes "ooohhhh" (at 3:44). And interestingly enough, the edited remix found as B side of "Love Will Save The Day" that Brian quoted, contains both those vocals "superimposed". GREATEST LOVE OF ALL: On the first chorus of both versions, the part she sings "learning to love yourself" is clearly a different vocal take. |

Old...old thread, but I just checked and have the original US CD with "Greatest Love Of All" and "How Will I Know" in their initial versions.
The center of the disc has the following text: DIDX-000489 G2 1A 01 and in very tiny text it says: IFPI L422 Edited by Underground Dub |
