I'm pretty sure that all I ever heard on radio was the No Intro version that starts with vocals. Can anyone confirm?

I had to go to youtube to search for a different version. Sure enough, there's one that has a short sax solo at the beginning.
In short, that version with the sax was one I've never remembered hearing. |

The no intro version just starts at the :15 mark in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dB4TThG9zw |

Hykker, if you played the one with the sax solo, are you referring to 1994 when
it was a hit? If so, then what would have been the source? I can't find anything prior to the 2000 Rhino 1994 "Billboard Top Hits 1994" CD that includes the (lovely) sax intro. |

davidclark -
The U.S. promo CD single and U.S. CD maxi-single had the sax solo intro ("Radio Version") released in 1994. I also heard this "sax solo" intro version ("Radio Version") regularly on the radio in addition to the "No Intro" version. |

Thanks, Jason.
I had checked discogs to see if I could find a timing that was as long as the "Billboard Top Hits 1994" version, but none were 4:33. I DID find 4:28. I guess another label timing issue. |

Correct. The Billboard Top Hits 1994 version runs about 7
seconds longer. I time the "Radio Version" about 4:26 and the Billboard disc about 4:33. It sounds like to me that Billboard simply took the sax solo intro and pasted on the album version (but faded about 5 seconds early, as attempting this myself brought the file to about 4:38). The fade on the Billboard disc and album version begin about the same spot. |

Jason is 100% correct.
For some reason, Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1994 (2000) uses the sax intro from Track 1 ("Radio Version") of the promo CD single (RCA 62779), tacked onto Track 5 ("Album Version") of the same promo CD single (as a differently-EQ'd digital clone), and faded a few seconds early. Why Rhino chose not to just use the full Track 1 from the promo CD single is a mystery, unless the Rhino producer just wanted a slightly longer version of the song. Also, Track 2 ("Radio Version No Intro") of the same promo CD single is also a digital clone of Track 1, minus the sax intro. Can anyone point out the difference between the "Radio Version No Intro" and the "Album Version"? Edited by crapfromthepast |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

Thanks for confirming, Ron. The producer should have just
included the full 4:38 version of the song then instead of fading 5 seconds earlier. Weird. Other than the "Radio Version No Intro" (4:11) fading earlier than the "Album Version" (4:23), I'm curious, too, about any mix differences. |
