Salt-N-Pepa Let’s Talk About Sex

According to the database, the remix of "Let's Talk About Sex" on the CD "A Blitz of Salt-N-Pepa Hits" is the 45 version. Is this correct? This version (at least on my CD) is a drastic remix that barely uses the familiar chorus that I remember hearing on the radio at the time. The LP version is what I recall from the radio; I never owned the 45.

Are there possibly 2 versions of this CD, or was the commercial 45 of this song truly such a drastic remix?

Thanks for the info. Wow, I just listened to it again and the single version doesn't even sound like the same song! The hook is missing ("Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you & me, let's talk about all the good things...").

andy....this one i think you're correct on..........the version that i recall is the "true confessions edit" from the uk cd sgl....

My promo CD has the 3:30 Original Recipe REMIX, as it's called, and the longer Club version at 5:55. It's Next Plateau Records Inc NPCD0157. This is what I remember hearing on the radio.

The same 3:30 version I have on the imort CD single (869 481-2, UPC 0 42286 94812 6), but it's called the "True Confessions Edit." The second track is a 4:41 remix called the Original Recipe Mix, which really is a completely different mix, starting off with spoken lines: "Punch it!" "Herb..." "Yo, I don't think we should talk about this." Is this the original LP mix?

The third track is the 4:38 Super Crispy Mix. Are you sure that's the cassette single A-side, Ed? That is too bad if it was, because I'm sure people were buying the cassette to get what they heard on the radio, and were very unpleasantly surprised, as it's a completely different recording, not just a remix.

The final track is the Techno Philly Mix of "Do You Want Me," an extended, pumping club mix.

Apparently, the "Super Crispy Mix" was issued on promo CD first, as there is a 1-track disc with catalog number NPCD50157RE-1. The 2-track single that Brian references has the same catalog number except with an RE-2.
