Was the no-intro no-DJ-rap version ever released promotionally when the song was climbing the charts? Or was it a later version?

My promo 45 has the "no dj" version on one side, and the version with the dj on the other. There is no designation on the label as to which side is which.
I also have a promo 12" that is clearly noted as being the "no dj" version.

Does anybody remember ever hearing the "no-DJ rap" version on the air?

The station I listened to (WBEN-FM) had just changed off of automation the year before, so sometimes there were variations on what they played. Most of the time they played the regular 45 version with the DJ rap, but after it had been out a while I remember hearing the no-DJ rap version a few times on that station. I was surprised at the time because I didn't know of its existence.

I later sought out the promo 45 and 12-inch single that contained this version.

I remember hearing multiple versions on WLOL Minneapolis during the original chart run. The majority of the time it was the pre-recorded custom station version that used clips from the morning team's daily sign-off "don't drink and drive, call your mom..."

The one I taped off the radio, though, was the evening jock doing a (presumably) live drop over the no DJ version saying "heyyyyy Twin Citiiiiieeees".

Yes, I remember hearing it on a smaller market station at the time and it really surprised me that there was no DJ voice at all (I had heard a couple of the custom versions as well). I thought maybe the station took it out for some reason, but years later I found out there actually was a promo version released, which makes more sense.
