Madonna - Music (Hit Version)

Hi guys, how are you? I was looking for a post related to
this but I didn't find anything, so I kind of ask
now.

I always had doubts about Madonna's single "Music",
that's why I consult:

There are several edit and remix versions, but my query
is for the Hit Version.
I have the album version with a duration of 3:45 (GHV2),
then a version identical to the album version with
the edited intro (without the voice at the beginning),
with a duration of 3:38 from an unknown source and
finally the one included in Promo Only Mainstream Radio:
August 2000, no description, with full intro and
running at 3:28, can someone shed some light on this?.

Thanks in advance

Was the 3:38 version (with the vocal intro omitted) ever an
official release? I went searching through Discogs and the
only release I could find was the 3:44 album version.
Perhaps, back in 2000, radio stations cued past the vocal
intro and started the song at 3:38.

That promo CD lists MUSIC as having a :00 intro which means
it would start with the vocal intro (I presume.) Probably
the 3:38 listed time is them fading it 6 or 7 seconds early
(if it runs 3:38 on that promo CD.)

After a few months I got a copy of the WoW! Promos – W-06
and I can tell that the "music" version includes the
spoken intro and runs at 3:41.

Never heard the intro voice either. I confirm.
