 1-Single Mix (4:10)
 2-Dance Mix - Extended (7:45)
 3-Dance Mix - Radio Edit (5:21)
 4-"Annie" Mix (5:35)
 5-Dance Mix - Dub Version (4:45)
 6-A Cappella Mix (4:12)

          | Regarding Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", Pat has entered Jim's promo CD single info into the database.  I also wanted to add that commercial 45 copies run 4:09.  (Timing info compliments of abagon.  The printed record label time is 4:10.) |

          | What are the easily identified differences between the LP version and single mix? 
 I own an early CD pressing of "Bad" that runs 4:19 and is presumably the LP version, as well as the promo 7" that runs 4:10, but other than the single sounding sped-up, I can't really tell a difference.

          | The most obvious difference is a tom tom fill before the first verse starts.
