The DB says that the cassette single (Gee Street 24034) contains the "Radio Edit" of the song and that runs 3:48, while the LP Version runs 4:09 or 4:10.
The only thing I see in the forum history is a long thread titled "Single/album version distinctions..." - https://www.top40musiconcd.com/forum/single-album-version-distinctions_topic132_page10.html?KW=Id+Die+Without+You" rel="nofollow - https://www.top40musiconcd.com/forum/single-album-version-distinctions_topic132_page10.html?KW=I%27%27d+Die+Without+You
Here, I see (edited):
P.M. Dawn - Paper Doll ==> Single version - 3:53. Album version - 4:50.
Commercial single copies contain the "Radio Mix" as the leadoff track. It is a much hotter and brighter mix than the one on the Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience (Gee Street 314514517 and 32510) CD.
P.M. Dawn - I'd Die Without You ==> Album - 4:10. (Whitburn - 3:43)
Commercial cassette single copies have the "Radio Edit".
P.M. Dawn - Looking Through Patient Eyes ==> Single version - 4:06. Album version - 4:06.
Commercial single copies contain the "Radio Mix". Like all other P.M. Dawn Top 40 hits, the radio mix/single version is mixed hotter and brighter than its album counterpart.
Seems like there is a distinction on PM Dawn singles regarding Radio Mix vs Radio Edit. Which brings me to my ultimate question - is the 3:48 Radio Edit truly just a straight edit of the LP version or are there different instruments, arrangements, etc? Seems like it would be but one thing I've learned here on this board is never to trust what record labels print. I don't see this Radio Edit online anywhere and I don't have the cassingle to compare it to so does anyone know? Thanks as always!

The "Radio Edit" is just the "Album Version" with the 22-second piano intro deleted.
Track 1 ("Radio Edit") on the promo CD single is a digital clone of Track 3 ("Album Version") after 0:22. (In an out-of-phase-sum test, they cancel to dithering noise at -84 dB or -90 dB.)
No different mix, just an easy edit.
