ace of base "living in danger"

I have Ace of Base's "Living in Danger" on the U.S. maxi-CD single release where Track 1 contains the "single remix" (a.k.a. the 45 version) and runs 3:10 just like on Ed's cassette single. However, Track 2 on the maxi-CD single states "album version" but only runs 3:20. This is faded out a full :21 sooner than the song's true album version length on Ace of Base's The Sign CD (Arista 18740).

Does anyone have "Living in Danger" on a promo CD single release who can relay the track listings and timing info? I'm curious to know if the shortened album version length also appears on the promo disc, or if it's exclusive to the commercial maxi-CD single?

Thanks much, Jim, and it's great to see you back on the board! So we can now conclude the "Album Version" on your promo CD also runs shorter than the true album version length.

"Living in Danger" didn't get a lot of airplay in my area when the song was on the charts. I do remember primarily hearing the "Single Remix", but I imagine the "Album Version" garnered some spins as well.

Regarding Ace of Base's "Living in Danger", I can confirm that the lone database CD currently showing a (remix) comment is actually the "D-House Mix", which appears on the promo CD single release listed in the database. But that's not all. It turns out that the 12" single version is also called the "D-House Mix", yet runs considerably longer at 10:04 (not 10:08 as stated on the label). Meanwhile, according to the Discogs website, the "D-House Mix" appears as a track on all U.S. commercial single releases:

Cassette Single
A1) Single Remix
A2) D-House Mix
[*same track listing appears on B side]

Maxi-Cassette Single
A1) D-House Mix
A2) Old School Mix
B1) Principle Mix
B2) Single Remix

Maxi-CD Single
1) Single Remix (actual and printed run time: 3:10)
2) Album Version (actual: 3:20; printed: 3:19) [As previously documented, this is faded out :21 sooner than the song's true album version length on Ace of Base's The Sign CD (Arista 18740).]
3) Old School Mix (actual: 4:57; printed: 4:56)
4) D-House Mix (actual: 10:04; printed: 10:08) [This is the 12" single version.]
5) Principle Mix (actual and printed: 8:50)
6) Buddha Mix (actual: 3:36; printed: 3:35)

(*No printed run time info was listed on the Discogs website for the cassette and maxi-cassette single releases. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I have a maxi-CD single copy and, therefore, have furnished the timing information above.)

One can see that several of the remixes on the promo CD single appear to be edits of their identically-named counterparts on the maxi-CD single. We just don't know at this time whether these remixes on the cassette and maxi-cassette singles are the short edits or the full length ones. The one we are most concerned about, of course, is the "D-House Mix" because it would be helpful to know whether these commercial singles contain the full 12" single version or the edited version on the promo CD single. If anyone can help furnish this missing information, it would be most appreciated!

One more thing regarding "Living in Danger"... It doesn't appear that Aaron's promo CD single info containing the "AC Edit" was ever entered into the database and, therefore, probably should be!

I think you've summed up everything in the database concisely and quite beautifully, Aaron! Now, I know it's been a longstanding database "policy" to note run time discrepancies of :03 or more on original vinyl/cassette/and CD single and album sources. Do we still want to note, for instance, that the run time for the "D-House Mix" on vinyl 12" single copies incorrectly states 10:08 on the record label? (The printed time is also incorrectly stated as 10:08 on my maxi-CD single. That said, I think noting that this actual/printed run time discrepancy exists on vinyl 12" single copies will help reassure database users that there is no actual 10:08 length, if that makes sense.)
