   Has anyone ever compared the 7" Remix on the Promo CD Single to the Album Version? The reason I ask is because I was just looking at the front and back cover 

of this Cassette Single on Discogs and while there is no specific version notation, it does say on the back cover "Original Version Appears On The Johnny 

Gill Album, MOT-6283" which would lead you to think that the version on there is different than what appears on the album. I know Ed said in the first post 

that the cassingle is the same as the full album version, but since the LP and 7" Remix versions seem to have the same running time, I was wondering if there 

might be a possibility that the Remix is actually on the single, and that maybe the differences between it and the LP Version are so small that they wouldn't 

be immediately noticeable. Again, I'm wondering this just because of how they worded it on the back of the cassingle.

	Dan, There were a lot of remixes of this song back in the day , so not sure if I can spot any differences.
	Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

	To Dan: The late, great Jim Abbott mentioned there was a difference earlier in the thread (post 3). Andy

	Thanks Andrew. I somehow missed that when scrolling down previously. Now it's just a matter of confirming if that version is on the Cassette Single. It would obviously be very easy to tell if it has that "Uhhh" that Jim mentioned at 1 second into the song.
