   Here's the scoop on a couple of Stevie B promo singles, courtesy of good ole Jim:

STEVIE B - I WANNA BE THE ONE (LMR 74003A & B - promo 45)

A) Radio Mix - 5:01 (not 4:54 as stated on the record label)

B) Extended Mix - 6:56

Comments: My long time partner-in-crime Ed generously let me listen to his commercial 45 copy of "I Wanna Be the One". Like the DJ 45, it states "radio mix" but runs slightly longer at 5:03.  I compared the "radio mix" to the version on the Best of Steve B CD (Saja/Atlantic 92795) to see if I could detect any mix differences.  It does sound to me like the synthesized percussion track is placed a little more up front on the Best of CD than on the vinyl 45.  However, I can't tell if this is the result of a mix difference or an EQ difference.  If anyone is interested in comparing the two for yourself, let me know.  Meanwhile, Neither Jim or I can recall hearing the Extended Mix on the radio, so we'll let Pat decide whether or not he wants to mention this mix in the database.

STEVIE B - IN MY EYES (LMR 74004A & B - promo 45)

A) Radio Mix - 5:14 (not 5:09 as stated on the record label)

B) Dancing Eyes - 5:16 (not 5:22 as stated on the record label; has a different cold, vocal ending than the one found on track 4 of the promo CD single below)

STEVIE B - IN MY EYES (LMRCDP-02 - promo CD single)

1) Radio Mix - 5:14 (not 5:09 as stated on the label)

2) In My House - 6:00

3) Bonus Spooge - 3:29 (not 3:34 as stated on the label)

4) Dancing Eyes - 5:17 (not 5:22 as stated on the label) (This mix segues into track 5)

5) Destiny Vs. Curiousity - 9:49 (tracks 4 and 5 together run (15:06).

Comments: Ed's commercial 45 copy of "In My Eyes" also states "radio mix" and runs 5:13.  Again, the synthesized percussion sounds a little more prominent in the mix on the Best of Stevie B CD than on the 45, but this could have to do with the EQ being brighter on the CD.  I'd be interested to get a second opinion on this as well if anyone would like to compare the two for yourself.  As far as the promo releases, the "Dancing Eyes", "In My House", "Bonus Spooge", and "Destiny vs. Curiosity" are all remixes and I don't think any of them were widely embraced by Top 40 radio.
