Alicia Keys - Karma

   Just reviewed the cd Totally Hits 2005 and it included a 3:36 version of "Karma" by Alicia Keys.  Does anyone have the 12" single that can verify this is perhaps the "45 version"?

	The leadoff track for the commercial 12" is the 4:06 (label states 4:12) album version. The 3:36 version is the "radio version" found on the CD promo single (label states 3:39). This radio version is NOT on the 12" single. The other 3 versions on the 12" are "instrumental" - "KrucialKeys DJ Mix" - "Acapella"

	Been proofing my 2005 and anyone remember that mashup of the instrumental of Superstition from Wonder and this song. It got a huge amount of airplay in New York at the time. It is also faster paced and runs about 3:49. At least in my market the slow radio edit on the promo was never played. Anyone remember what they heard in their area back then? https://www.discogs.com/release/16267497-Alicia-Keys-Karma-K armastition-Remix Edited by PopArchivist
	Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

	In Chicago, I only heard 'Karmastition'. A great mix that turned a banal recording into something interesting. Was disappointed, but not surprised, they couldn't get clearance for a commercial release.
