So, the mystery deepens... the 4:09 was on the promo CD, yet the 3:49 version was on the cassingle.
Interesting. |

I've just listened to both versions. I really don't hear
a difference with the tambourine on the 4:08 version as was mentioned before so I'm probably missing that. But I did notice echo/reverb on the vocals. I also noticed the ad-lib "Mmm Hmm" (a few seconds after the title is last sung) sounds a little farther back on the 3:48 version. Also, there are two whispers of "Be Quiet" on the 4:08 version before it fades out that aren't there on the 3:48. Overall, I'd say the 3:48 sounds fuller, with vocals and instrumentation more upfront in the mix. |

I wonder if this is another case where a specific version was meant to go on copies of the commercial single, but ended up with the album version instead, possibly by mistake. |

The database currently has "neither 45 nor LP version" for all CDs with the 4:09 version. I think instead those comments should probably read "promo CD single version."

Coincidentally, when I added the version to my iTunes recently, that is exactly how I labelled it. It makes the most sense, since the version was only available on that promo at first and apparently nowhere else until it appeared on the VA Compilations. |

I recall another Will To Power 45 single having a
different mix than the LP version. When Epic picked up the group (formally with a indie Florida label) their debut single "Dreamin'" was remixed for the single release. It was an edit of the "New Mix" found on the Epic 12" single, a version/edit that I don't believe has appeared on CD. |

For purposes of "hit version" the 7 inch has the 3:48, which is the LP version https://www.discogs.com/Will-To-Power-Im-Not-In-Love/release /931947 The promo CD single however, is the only official CD single release outside the LP. If someone was going to buy a version, this was it in 1990. That or the cassette. https://www.discogs.com/Will-To-Power-Im-Not-In-Love/release /3671803 The UK goes with the 3:48 https://www.discogs.com/Will-To-Power-Im-Not-In-Love/release /6711169 So is this a case where the 45/LP/Cassette is the hit, or the promo CD version of 4:08? I went with the 3:48. Ed, do you have the cassette dub you can send me? Edited by PopArchivist |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

I know I never heard the promo version on the radio at all back then, so I'd also go with the 3:48 as being the "Hit Version". But you do have to wonder what the deal was with the 4:08 version. I would think it was meant to be the Album Version and the 3:48 was meant to be the Single Version. Is it possible early pressings of the Album could have had the 4:08 version, and was later replaced with the remixed 3:48 version after it became a hit? Edited by thecdguy |

But don't forget that the average music fan couldn't have bought the promo CD Single in stores, and therefore couldn't get that 4:08 version on CD unless they worked in the industry or knew someone who did who had access to promos. As far as the Cassette goes, Ed mentioned upthread that it contains the 3:48 version, and apparently all the configurations of the Album do, as well. Edited by thecdguy |
