Two questions for the masses here:
1) The 1991 CD promo has which version, the one with the beat opening, or the normal one without beats 2) Is this 12 inch extended version available anywhere on CD...its beyond awesome. Makes whatever was on the promos/commercial singles lame in comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHRh3UWfK6s&feature=youtu.be - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHRh3UWfK6s&feature=youtu.be ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

The 1991 promo CD has the version without beats.
I think that remix is a custom remix by the DJ who posted it on YouTube, so I'm not sure where you'd get it. I looked around a little online and didn't see anywhere to download it from. |

This sounds like what a 12 inch would be. I didnt think it was official, but it doesnt match anything on discogs... ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

So the promo CD has no opening drumbeats, but the 45 and cassette do? That's weird indeed to know this... ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

LP version (5:17)
The LP version starts with three drumbeats. I have the LP version on the following CDs, all of which use the same analog transfer (almost certainly from the In The Blood CD, but I can't confirm), but they're no digital clones of one another:
US single version (3:49) The US had phased out vinyl 45s in favor of cassette singles by 1990/91, so the official US single release is on cassette. The single version starts with the same three drumbeats as the LP version. It matches the LP version until a downbeat around 3:15, on the syllable "think", and differs after that. You can't edit the single version down from the LP version. I have the single version on the following CDs, all of which use the same analog transfer; I don't know the source:
(US) promo CD single version (3:48) It's basically the single version, with the opening three beats cut off. As far as I can tell, it appears only on the promo CD single and TM Century track no. 00005150. You can easily edit this one yourself by trimming the opening three drumbeats off the single version and starting on the downbeat. Outlier? EMI Virgin PolyGram UK's 2-CD Now 1990 (1993) has the LP version faded way early to 3:32. I don't know if that's what was on the UK 45. It, too, includes the opening three drumbeats. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |
