salt-n-pepa "none of your business"

   Joel Whitburn's books list the second catalog number but makes mention of the first pressing in a note below the song in the Top Pop Singles book.

From what I can tell, the Billboard Hot 100 chart used the catalog number for the first pressing from July 23, 1994 to November 12, 1994, the week it peaked at #32.

Curiously, on the next chart (November 19, 1994) "None Of Your Business" fell out of the Top 40 and Billboard switched the catalog number to that of the second pressing for the remainder of its run.

Should we then consider the "official" Top 40 single version to be what is on that first pressing?

	I finally tracked down the second cassette single (857 776-4). "None Of Your Business" is uncensored here as well meaning both pressings of the cassette single match the version found on the Very Necessary CD.

	I remember my local radio station playing a version of "None of Your Business" with new lyrics. The lyric "never mind who's the guy that I took home ... to bone" became "never mind who's the guy that I took home ... alone". "Alone" replaced "to bone". I don't remember off the top of my head any other lyric changes (there may have been). Does anyone remember hearing this version?

	If I had to guess, I'd say it was an in-house edit that simply re-inserted the "alone" lyric from the previous line. I've never heard a version that has alternate lyrics, and as far as I know, there are only two US promo CDs that exist for this song.

	Aaron, thank you for the response! I appreciate it! You are probably right. I have one of those promo CDs and was curious if some other version was out there.

	My pleasure! One of the two promo CDs leaves in the line "to bone." The other promo CD inserts the record needle sound effect over those lyrics.

	No need to start a new thread here, but I cant seem to find Heaven 'N Hell (Remix) on any CD as this was what was played in 1994, not the album version. Seems you can only find it on cassette..unless you order the Australia CD https://www.discogs.com/Salt-N-Pepa-Heaven-N-Hell-None-Of-Yo ur-Business/release/8424271 If I recall correctly this is the version that the radio played. Does anyone recall if I am correct? Edited by PopArchivist

	I do not recall ever hearing "Heaven 'n Hell" on the radio. Was it even promoted to radio? The promo video received quite a bit of MTV play though. I don't think that I have even heard the "Remix".
