aerosmith "love in an elevator"

both my commercial 45 and commercial cassingle are issued with the same catalog number, geffen 22845, and both have a listed and actual run time of 3:38 and state that they contain the "edit" version.......my promo cd single lists the "edit" version as the "CHR edit with intro" version......

To create the "CHR Edit" from the promo, I took the version from "Big Ones"
and made two edits:

Delete 1:42.406 to 3:22.100 of the Big Ones version.
Delete 4:20.682 to 4:41.133 of the Big Ones version.

That knocks it down from 5:21 to about 3:20.

Had a difficult time trying to locate the exact point of the second edit
because they loop the same lyrics so many times, but focusing on the
inflections in Steven Tyler's voice, I think that's it. I have it on the snare
right after Tyler sings the word "elevator," right before the next "living it up."

To create the actual 45 version, which is the "CHR Edit with Intro," just use
the version on "Pump" instead of Big Ones and add the length of the Intro
(about 17 seconds) to these instructions.

Now, with all that said, this is assuming there's no mix difference between
the LP versions and the 45/promo versions. I don't detect one but there are
a lot of horns throughout this song and I could see how someone could
argue they're louder or softer at different points among the different
versions. They sound right to me though and I didn't detect anything more
major than that.

Let me know if any of this is completely wrong. Otherwise, hopefully this
helps.

Given that you have two sealed copies without inserts, I'd say it was issued with and without inserts. That's not uncommon for promo CDs.

Thanks for the info. I kinda figured when I got my second
sealed copy with zero inserts. I was just curious if it
wasn't official sealed and someone else "sealed" it. The
hunt continues.
