"Cold Hearted" - Paula Abdul

both my commercial 45 and commercial cassingle are issued with the same catalog number, virgin 99196, and both have the stated run time as 3:34 and they do run that length...they do not state that the version inclosed is a remix or edit, which it clearly is....

Was the 1988 release the one with or without the double-tracked pseudo-rap over the bridge?

Thanks, Jim!

No, it actually is a remix, but I haven't listened to it in years, so I can't recall what it's like. It's not an edit of the House mix, I know that.

I sent it to you a week ago -- didn't you get it?

EDIT: Your In Box is full -- that's why you didn't get it. Please clear out your In Box and I will send it again.

Huge thanks to Brian W! For anyone who was curious, it's a unique 7" mix based on the "Extended Version" elements.

I wonder how much airplay this version got during "Cold Hearted"'s chart run.

I was researching different versions of this song today so here is some feedback to the above question. Better late than never, I suppose :-)

-The '7" Edit' on the 12" Single that chendagam references in the above post is an edit of the 'Quiverin 12"'. The 12" length of that mix (A1 on the release noted above) is also available digitally on Paula's Shut Up and Dance:
Dance Mixes album. You can re-create the shorter "Quiverin'" 7" edit from the longer variant pretty easily.

-The true 45 Version is Track 1 on the promo CD single. This mix sounds practically identical to the LP Version, but they are easily differentiated due to the fact that Paula's "rap" section (which appears at about 1:34 of the 45
Version) does not exist in the Forever Your Girl album version, but was added to the single mix. The 45 Version is easily obtainable, having appeared on both of Paula Abdul's official greatest hits collections and a
smattering of other releases.

-The "Remix" that appears as Track 2 on the promo CD single seems to be unique to that release, and does not match the 'Quiverin' 7"' discussed above. On a casual listen, one could easily mistake the Promo CD "Remix" for the main
45 Version, but in doing an A/B comparison, the "Remix" has an obviously harder/more forceful rhythm track, and does resemble the main 12" "Extended Version". (again, not the 'Quiverin' 12"').

There is also a UK 'single edit' of the Chad Jackson House Mix. I don't believe the straight House Mix (by Keith Cohen) that we got in the U.S. was ever edited down to radio/single length.

I think I have the same disc, Brian! I didn't love the Chad Jackson
mixes when the song was current, but they've grown on me over the
years.
