Shanice - I Love Your Smile

I don't think that's the case, as that surface noise
sounds like a sample laid atop the music (and it's totally
absent from the cold ending/laughing).

I noticed on the LP version on Hitsville USA Vol. II, there's a vintage scratchy-vinyl sound over the 15-second intro to the song. I don't hear the scratchy vinyl effect on either the radio edit (on my Top Hits USA RH10 CD) or on the Driza Bone Remix (on UK's Now 21 and Now 1992). I also noticed there's a little giggle at 2:54 on the LP version, which is absent from the radio edit at corresponding point at 2:18. Because of these mix differences (and there may be others - I wasn't all that rigorous), it looks like you can't recreate the radio edit from the LP version.

Although it was later established that there are no vinyl noise sound effects on Inner Child you still would not be able to create the Radio Edit from the LP Version. At the edit point described above, Shanice's "you dig" in the LP Version overlaps part of the music that would need to be kept. There's also some laughter over the first notes of the horn solo on the LP Version which have been removed from the mix on the Radio Edit, which Ron pointed out over a decade ago.
