Regarding Janet Jackson's "Black Cat", I believe the "45 version" comment listed next to the Design Of A Decade 1986/1996 CD (A&M 314540399) in the database is incorrect. If I'm not mistaken, this CD actually contains the "video mix/long solo" DJ edit.
Does anyone know if the "video mix/long solo" edit and one the "featuring Vernon Reid" edit are identical tracks, or are these two distinctly different versions? |

Funky 12" (listed & actual 5:44) 9. 3 Snaps Up Dub (listed & actual 6:12) Mixes 2 & 4 are very different mixes. The guitar and drums are completely different on the "Featuring Vernon Reid" version. The backing track might actually be completely re-recorded. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Thanks very much for the confirming this, Aaron. I've now discovered there's another thread already dedicated to http://www.top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2493&KW=Janet+Jackson - Black Cat - Janet Jackson . For some reason, nothing turned up about this song when I tried using the message board search engine last night. At any rate, my apologies for the duplicate thread. |

Even though the 45 version on CD is readily available, my
curiosity wonders something. Since the "Video Mix/Short Solo" and the LP version differ by only a couple seconds, they are two different mixes, correct? As Eric A. stated in 2007, the LP version ..."starts with the snarling cat, and ends with a fade" and the video mix starts with drums, correct? |

The LP version on the promo CD single starts with the drums, but it is
definitely a different mix from the Video Mix. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
