   my cassingle issued as virgin 12653 contains a non described version which runs 3:23......this cassingle version sounds slightly different than the version from the cd 

(S) (3:26) Virgin 88229  Promises And Lies   

is it possible that the version from the soundtrack is slightly remixed and shorter in length than the above cd version.....i don't have the soundtrack and promises cd to compare them.....but they definitely are different....can anyone else confirm my suspicions?...also...the cassingle doesn't mention the cd "promises and lies" at all in the credits.....i just says "from the upcoming ub40 album and also from the movie soundtrack "sliver"......this also adds to my suspicions...the running times match up properly as well...cassingle and "sliver" versions both run 3:23 while all others run 3:25-3:26.....

	My U.S. 45 rpm copy (Virgin S7-17402, the so-called "For Jukeboxes Only" issue) has a label that states 3:24, but it actually plays 3:19.

	Yes Ed I do hear a difference between the "Sliver" and Promises And Lies" cd versions.

	I think I may have had "Can't Help Falling in Love" on CD single at one time and I sold it after I bought UB40's Promises and Lies CD. Had I known at the time that the single and album version were different, I wouldn't have parted with the CD single. :-( Edited by Todd Ireland

	So is it safe to say that there are 3 different versions of this song? The Single Version, the "Promises And Lies" Album Version and the "Sliver" Soundtrack Album Version?

	Ed, There was no talking intro when they played it in 1993 in NY. The 3:01 Edit on Virgin D-Pro 12794 was the go to version that got airplay. I don't know about other areas but Z100 and WPLJ rarely had songs with talking intros. the 3:01 cuts off the 20 seconds of talk. So if the single version is the hit version anyone, please let me know what area it was you were in. I don't consider what the cassette was as I don't have that version. Edited by PopArchivist

	All I ever heard on the radio here in Philadelphia was the talking intro. I was surprised to find out years later a version existed without it.

	What is the "talking" intro? I've never heard any version of the song that has talking.

	I think we're just referring to the opening words on the single version's intro that sort of sound like they're being half sung, half spoken. "Talking" probably wasn't the best way to describe it, lol.
