| My promo has the listed (4:08) (actual run time is 4:05) (UK Single Edit) on one side, and the listed and actual (4:37) (Full Force Single Edit) on the other (deadwax 1154-7-J-C). My station played the first one. |

Jim:
Do you know if the UK Single Edit of "I Wanna Have Some Fun" found on the promo 45 is different from the commercial 45? |

| The deadwax info for both the stock and promo 45's listed (4:08) "UK Single Edit" is exactly the same, Todd. |

| There are several database CDs listed as "45 version" but actually only run (3:55), which is :10 shorter. |

| Can anyone account for the :10 discrepancy between the 3:55 and 4:05 versions? |

Hopefully, have answered my own question. Wanting to see if I have any agreement with my observation.
In comparing the copies of this song I have from Hot Ladies Of The 80'sat 4:05 vs. the Samantha Fox Greatest Hits at 3:55, the 4:05 version has Samantha at the beginning of the song saying "Hello, it's me again..." and the Greatest Hits version starts with a male singing "Sa-Sa-Samantha Fox" Would that then mean that all 3:55 listings in the database are missing the first :10? Comments? |

| While I don't have the 3:55 version, I think you're onto something, eriejwg. The 3:55 CDs are probably "neither," unless someone has any other info to prove otherwise. |

| I see Pat has updated the database to reflect the 3:55 versions missing the first :10. |

| The "Full Force Single Edit" on the promo 45 is a simple edit of the LP version. There's about a 40 second chunk edited out, starting on the downbeat before the talking at (3:44). The edit jumps to the chorus ("I wanna have some fun..."). |

my commercial 45 issued as jive 1154 states on the label the run time as 4:08 but runs 4:06...and has the version here-in as the "uk single edit"........
