I'd be curious to know if that 6:28 CD album version of "Baby Don't
Forget My Number" has appeared anywhere else. The lead 12" version was the Extended Subway Mix and runs about 7:35 and the other versions on the 12" single are all under 6 minutes. Discogs doesn't seem to show a 6:28 version (or anything close) on any of the dozens of US and foreign releases for that song. |

I have a Canadian compilation called Big Hits '89 (PolyTel, 1989), which featured the LP versions on all 14 of its songs. It included the 6:28 version of "Baby Don't Forget My Number", which rendered it pretty much useless for this song. The 6:28 version sounds nothing like the hit version, which is what I'd play on the radio or at live events.

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

The 6:28 LP version is a slightly shorter version of the Extended Subway Mix. I'm not sure what they chopped out of the 7:35 12" version for the LP, but the mix is the same.

My Canadian vinyl LP has the 6:28 version - was the "hit" version ever pressed onto the LP - Canadian or US? I agree with the track being "useless". I quickly ran out and bought the 45 when I heard what was on the LP. Radio rarely played the LP version, although I'm sure I heard it on "Open House Party" one time - with John Garabedian even mentioning how much different it was from the 45 version. |

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere on this
forum but I couldn't locate it in the search. I don't know how exactly many mixes and remixes and edits exist for "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" but I'd imagine that there are several, which seems to be typical of this era in pop music. I have a vinyl set of one of the "Casey's Top 40" shows from 1989 (August 26-27) and it contains an edit of "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" that I assume is the single edit but I'm not sure. My CD pressing of the "Girl You Know It's True" album (which is a Columbia House club pressing) contains the 4:24 length "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" (as it's written on the disc... on the sleeves it is "I'm Gonna Miss You") which has one sax solo near the end before repeating the pre-chorus and chorus. The edit on my "Casey's Top 40" show has an instrumental section with a different sax solo between the first chorus and the 2nd verse and the pre-chorus and chorus section is not repeated at the end. Instead the song fades out on a second sax solo after the last chorus (same sax solo on the CD I have). Just curious to know if this edit was on the hit single and if it can be located on CD? |

Here are the details from the two promo CDs I have that contain the song:
"Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" (ASCD-9870) 1. Single Version (listed 4:19; actual 4:24) 2. Album Version (listed & actual 3:58) The Single Version does not have a sax solo between the first chorus and second verse. The Album Version does have a sax solo before the second verse. According to Ron's post above, the Album Version appears on 3 out of the 4 pressings he owns (note the run time of 3:57 on all of them). "Maximum Milli Vanilli/The Hits That Shook The World" (ASCD-9930) 1. All Or Nothing (listed 3:15; actual 3:16) 2. Blame It On The Rain (Single Version) (listed 4:06; actual 4:08) 3. Blame It On The Rain (Album Version) (listed 4:19; actual 4:17) 4. Girl I'm Gonna Miss You (listed 4:19; actual 4:24) 5. Baby Don't Forget My Number (listed 4:00; actual 4:02) 6. Girl You Know It's True (listed 3:48; actual 3:49) With the exceptions of tracks 1 & 3, the rest of the tracks on this promo sampler are the single versions. Ron pointed out in another thread, however, that the left and right channels are swapped for most or all of these tracks compared with the vinyl 45s. |

Oh, and as Ed pointed out earlier, it's actually an oboe and not a sax, but I won't correct my last post :)

Sounded more like a soprano sax to me based on the
"brassier" timbres of some of the higher notes but I suppose it could be an oboe. They were obviously going for that Kenny G. sound there. I do know one thing... whatever instrument it was, neither Rob or Fab played it. ;) |
