I had the full I'm Your Baby Tonight CD, with a version of 4:58, and my commercial 45 had 5:00 printed on the label, so I just assumed it was the LP version. And I didn't really give it another thought until I found a 4:12 edit on a TM Century CD. Still haven't played the 45, but I recreated the edit.

Here are instructions, based on timings from I'm Your Baby Tonight:

Keep 0:00.0-2:56.1 of the LP version.
The edit point falls between the words "Whatever you" and "want", where the syllables "ever you" all have three snare hits under them. I cut it at the bass drum that starts the word "want" and it sounded fine.
Remove the 32 beats from 2:56.1-3:13.5.
Keep the 67 beats from 3:13.5-3:50.0.
Edit at snare at 3:50; you should hear a whooshy sound effect disappear after the edit (and you'll never hear the song the same way again!)
Remove the 16 beats from 3:50.0-3:58.7.
Keep the 77 beats from 3:58.7-4:40.7. (The end of this portion should be on the word "want".)
Put a 32-beat fade from 4:23.2-4:40.7.

Your mixdown should run 4:14, with edits at 2:56.1 and 3:32.6, and a 32-beat fade from 3:57.1-4:14.5.

(FYI - The true fade on the TM edit version is a second or two quicker than what I described, but I'm a stickler for having fades that fit the measures of the song. 32 beats is aesthetically pleasing; 29 beats, not so much...)

Jim - Do you have the promo CD single info for this song?

Yes I do, Ron, and here are the rather brief particulars for it (with no listed time):

Whitney Houston-"I'm Your Baby Tonight" (ASCD-2108)

I own the first Japanese pressing of the "I'm Your Baby Tonight" full CD as well as a UK CD single for that track, and both contain a remix.

I have also seen german vinyl LP's with this version.

It's not labeled as a remix on any of the sources I mentioned, only on the production credits "additional production and remix by Yvonne Turner".

Its actual running time is 4:12, very close to the US 45 version.

It has a much less "US" vibe, more of a dance/90's house feel to it, much smoother than the original Babyface production.

Could this have been the 45 version outside the US?

Since elcoleccionista's question was never answered, I'm bumping this up. Although I can't supply the answer, the official "sonybmg" account on YouTube has posted a video for the song that most likely is the version mentioned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFXJ9Vhvgfw

While we're on the subject, can anyone confirm the run time of the US vinyl 45? A listing on discogs.com claims that the US 45 has a run time of (4:13). There might be more than one US pressing of the 45, or the run time might be drastically different than what's printed on the label. It's also possible that the listing on discogs is a non-US 45, erraneously listed as a US pressing.

My stock copy has a listed time of 5:00. There was a promo 45, which had the 5:00 version on one side and a 4:15 (listed time) on the other.

If you are able to time it, that might help solve part of the mystery. So far, it is unknown for certain if the 5:00 printed time is correct or not. Thanks, Chuck!

AHA! Thank you, Ed! I'm noticing what the problem is with the discogs listing. The catalog number of the 45 is Arista 113 594, which is obviously NOT a US pressing. Thank you for confirming the run time and for posting the catalog number.
