Seduction-"(You’re My....) True Love"

Pat, I notice that you currently have notated in the database, "the actual 45 running time is (4:16) the 'Summer Of '89 Radio Mix'". But my commercial 45 has both a listed and actual time of (3:46), with no version notation at all on the label, and deadwax info of "A&M-VV-01433-A-SP".

I also own a promo CD single for this song (CD 17833), and it has the following:

1-Summer Of '89 Radio Mix (listed & actual 4:16)
2-Soft Sell Radio Mix (listed & actual 3:58)

Before posting this, I browsed the more broad, earlier Seduction "4 Top 40 Hits" post, didn't see any information for this promo CD single, so I thought I would add them here, in a more specific thread.

jim....did you compare the vinyl 45 versus the lp version to see if they are the same?

I have uncovered the reason for the :04 difference between the stock 45 and CD versions. The 45 is pitched up by 1.35% compared with the CD version, making it run :04 shorter. Other than that, they are exactly the same.

Jim:

Did your radio station play the "Summer of '89 Radio Mix" and is it a significantly different mix than the LP version? I was living in Germany back when the song came out and heard it on Armed Forces Radio and on American Top 40.

As promised, Jim sent me the "Summer of '89 Radio Mix" of "(You're My One and Only) True Love" on mp3 a while back, but I'm only now getting back with an update. The "Summer of '89 Radio Mix" is a signficantly different mix than the LP version and the one I remember hearing on Armed Forces Radio and on American Top 40. I think the "Summer of '89 Radio Mix" is a far superior version.
