my commercial cassingle of the song "(if there was) any
other way" by celine dion does not state a version or run time on the cassingle or sleeve but is actually an extended version with a true running time of 4:13....this single info s/b added to the db... i've attached some notes from todd's expansive entry regarding single/lp version differences.... I asked Ed if the commercial single version of "(If There Was) Any Other Way" is a different mix than the LP version. He sent me an mp3 copy and I did an A/B comparison to the 4:00 version on my Celine Dion Unison CD. Basically the mixes are very similar. However, the single version does have reverb added to it, which is most noticeable on the song's opening percussion strikes. The single mix also has an added synthesizer overdub from 2:49-2:51. Ed and I both say the 4:13 single is a distinct version. So my comments for "(If There Was) Any Other Way" should be revised to read: Single version - 4:13. Album version - 4:00. Edited by edtop40 |

I have two different promo CD singles for this song. And, for the first time in my recollection, both the 1-track and 2-track variations have the exact same "stock" # (ESK 73665). It was as if Epic had wanted to eliminate any evidence of the first, 1-track ESK 73665 promo, and replace it with the 2-track. The inner CD groove states "DISP 000916 3" for the initial, 1-track promo, but "DISP 000916 4" for the second, 2-track promo. Here are the details:
Celine Dion-"(If There Was) Any Other Way" (ESK 73665) 1-(non-described version) (listed 3:59; actual 4:13) (this disc says "Remixed By Dana Jon Chappelle") Celine Dion-"(If There Was) Any Other Way" (ESK 73665) 1-(non-described version) (listed & actual 3:54) ** 2-(non-described version) (listed & actual 5:39) (this disc says "Remixed By Daniel Abrahams") This second promo CD single issue also included a black sticker with purple writing on the front of the jewel case, stating in bold print "REMIX". ** - FYI, we played Cut 1 from the 2-track promo on-the-air as a current in 1991. |

My friend Johann just e-mailed with a query about this song tonight. I see I already provided full details here on the Board 2 months ago, so I'm just bumping this thread up for Johann.

Based on a dub of Chuck's 45, it appears the vinyl single may have the album version on it. The 45 label shown on Discogs states "Remix" and credits Dana Jon Chappelle and Walter Afanasieff, but the mix of Chuck's dub matches the Unison CD.
Chuck, can you look to see if your 45 also says "Remix" on the label? It's possible there are two pressings. |

My U.S. commercial 45 has the label Aaron describes, but I cannot
detect any difference between it and the Unison CD version. The label correctly states the run time as 3:59. The song charted in Canada in the spring of 1990, a year before it did in the U.S. |

Thanks for confirming, Paul! I believe the intention was to include the remix on the 7" single (same mix on the cassette single), but it appears the album version was used accidentally. The remix credits and printed time of 3:59 are also on the promo CD, but the CD definitely has the remix and not the Unison album version.

Once and for all, the 4:13 is the hit version, correct?

So Aaron, is the single remix only available on the promo CD single? |

The 3:54 (listed and actual) remix on the second promo CD single that Jim listed above is what got all airplay here. |
