The actual vinyl 45's running time is also (4:16), the printed info on the record label is "4:17" (single version) (Warner 7-19595)
edtop40, Thank you very much for posting of lots of cassette single information. --abagon |

I have the "Single Version" on a few different
compilations. They all omit the opening "breath" before the instruments/vocal come in and start with just the "I don't wanna hear about it anymore" vocal/guitar. For years, I thought that was the single version ... until I came across Billboard Top Hits 1991, in which I heard the "breath" for the first time. Does the cassette single feature this opening "breath" then? ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

Jason, Are you saying the Billboard Top Hits 91 is the correct version that matches this discogs listing? I don't recall ever hearing the breath.. https://www.discogs.com/Damn-Yankees-High-Enough/release/138 37507 - https://www.discogs.com/Damn-Yankees-High-Enough/release/138 37507 I listened to the 1991 Billboard Top Hits version, you are right it does start out with a breath. I can have Aaron check the CD promo above. I don't have access to cassettes. I can ask Ed to see if its on there... The 45 does have the breath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7NMjlwpR18 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7NMjlwpR18 ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Hey Rich,
You just answered my question (with that YouTube link). Since the 45 has the "breath", then I know that it was not exclusive to the Billboard Top Hits 1991 CD. I was just surprised at how many CDs do not have that "breath", making me question if the "breath" was actually on the single. Thank you! ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

I hadn't noticed before, but the single version is not just an edit but a totally unique mix. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

So than the cd promo contains that single version, while Billboard Top Hits 1991 contains the 45 version with the opening breath? ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

They are the same. The Single Version from the promo CD exactly
matches the version on Billboard Top Hits 1991, including the opening breath. There seem to be just a handful of CDs that cut off the opening breath but are the correct single mix. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

That's kind of like Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby". I think the correct 45 version has her breathing before she starts singing, but most CD's with that version cut it off. I never noticed the mix differences between the Album and Single Versions of "High Enough" either. Listening to them now, it sounds like there's more echo on the Album Version. The vocals on the Single Version sound more upfront. I also noticed that the guitar section is edited on the Single Version. And to think that for the past 30 years, I thought the Single Version was just the Album Version with the Instrumental Intro from the Album chopped off! ------------- Dan In Philly |

Indeed. For a number of years, I thought the same thing
about "High Enough". Then, I compared them side by side, only to realize that the "Single Version" is a different (and superior, in my opinion) mix of the song. ------------- Jason Bellenger Byron Center, Michigan, USA |

The 2-track promo CD single for "High Enough" is Warner Bros. Records PRO-CD-4416 (released 1990):
1. "Single Version" - printed 4:17 2. "Album Version" - printed 4:45 I don't have the promo CD single, but I have enough info to give some mastering details. Single version (4:16) The following all use the same analog transfer, which is likely track 1 from the promo CD single:
TM Century's track no. 0005129 omits the opening breath (bad, although preferable for radio airplay), truncates the long fade, and may possibly have added noise reduction. Avoid. Album version (4:44) The following all use the same analog transfer, which is almost certainly the full-length Damn Yankees CD and/or track 2 from the promo CD single:
