Boy Krazy "That’s What Love Can Do"

The commercial CD single of "That's What Love Can Do" lists "radio" version, but as far as I can tell, it's simply a case of the left and right channels being switched, and a little brightness added, EQ-wise. To me, these don't warrant a "45 version" listing, but I'm wondering, does anyone know if there's anything else different in the single version than these 2 things?

Though I'm not Pat, I would like to give my 2 cents on this issue, Todd. Many CDs differ in equalization. Even this past year's Rhino CDs on Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac, Cher, etc. are much brighter than they are on older CDs or the 45s. But they wouldn't warrant any special mention because they are not mixed differently. It's the same mix, just re-EQ'd/mastered differently. So for different EQ's, I don't think terms like "45 mix" or "LP mix" would apply.

No, I don't feel "LP mix" should be used strictly based on a difference in equalization. I use LP mix to indicate that already existing instrumentation is either emphasized or reduced in volume compared to the 45 mix.

Todd, we received in two CD singles for this song back in 1993. The first was simply the commercial CD single with a punched hole on the UPC symbol. We played Cut 1 (the one that you describe as including the "chipmunk vocal") at our station for the duration of its successful chart run. The second one was actually a promo, and Cut 1 on this CD, called "Gigolo Radio", sounded far inferior to us than Cut 1 on the other CDS, so we passed on it and stayed with the other one. And although "Gigolo Radio" does omit your "chipmunk" passage, Todd, it is a substantially different mix, with almost all of the constant, funky keyboard passages removed; much more of a drum/percussion dance beat was used here. I highly doubt that this was the version you heard in '93. Instead, I'm betting the station you heard that version on just did a "custom chop" on that "chipmunk" part for airplay; it's only four measures long. Just in case it might still help, here are all the CD single details:

Thanks, Jim and Ron. It sounds like the edit I remember hearing on AC stations must have been a custom one done in-house.
