Unfortunately, I don't own the promo single on this one; however, I have a copy of "Red Light Special" from a TM Century disc, which runs (4:33), so I'm thinking this is probably the "Alternate Radio Edit." (The disc doesn't specify a version.) Also, I don't have Now & Forever, so I can't verify the difference between the (4:33) edit I have and the (4:37) version on that disc.

Thanks again, Ed. I think there's not a question as to which version is the official 45 version. You have nicely summerized that in the above post. The question remains which version of "Red Light Special" is featured on Now & Forever? Is it the Radio Edit or Alternate Radio Edit or neither?
I think we can conclude, based on the info posted above by Todd, that the version of "Unpretty" on this same disc is the "Radio Version faded :09 early." Unless someone can post otherwise, I think it can also be concluded that the version of "Creep" on LaFace Platinum Collection is "faded :34 early." |

I just recently acquired both the promo CD single and import CD single for TLC's "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg." There's one thing that puzzles me, though. I have a version from an Entertainment Weekly compilation called Hot Dance Mix (manufactured by Arista) that has alternate lyrics. This mix is not on the import CD or the promo CD. Where did it come from?
The version I'm referring to runs (4:01), and it cuts some of the spoken part before the first verse and has a different chorus: "To the back is my hat and pants are slowly saggin'" replaces the line "Two inches to a yard, rock hard, or with it saggin'." Was there perhaps another promo single that this version appeared on? Does anyone know the name of the mix? |

Aaron: I have 2 different promo CD singles for this, one with 3 versions, and another with 5 versions. I listened to all cuts on both, trying to find the "To the back is my hat" line in, and the "Two inches to a yard" line out. I could not find one - all vocal versions I have contain the latter line.

Thanks for the info, Jim. For years, I always thought the clean version on my compilation CD was the official radio version, but now it seems that's not the case. I wonder if the record company had plans to release it to help it gain airplay, but due to its success they never did.

The version with alternate lyrics was played regularly by WKSE, Kiss 98.5 in my area, when the song was a hit. I also have the promo CD single and those lyrics aren't on it. Maybe there was another elusive promo single.

Thanks for the info, torcan. Now I'm beginning to think there is another promo CD floating around out there.

I just obtained a variation of "Creep" on promo CD that I hadn't seen before. Here are the details:
LaFace Records (LFPCD-4096) 1. Album Version (listed & actual 4:05) 2. Jermaine's Jeep Mix (listed 3:45; actual 3:44) 3. Untouchables Mix (listed & actual 4:09) 4. Super Smooth Mix (listed 4:03; actual 4:02) 5. DARP Mix (listed 4:09; actual 4:08) 6. Untouchables Instrumental (listed 4:02; actual 4:01) At first glance, this appears to be the same versions as the commercial maxi CD; however, the times and song lengths are all different. Track 1, the Album Version, is faded early. The other tracks might also be early fades, but I haven't checked them against the stock CD single to be sure. Almost all of the remixes on the stock CD run over 5 minutes, except for the DARP Mix, which is 4:50 on the stock. |
