David A. Stewart introducing Candy Dulfer - Lily Was Here

The database mentions a DNA urban remix radio edit, yet I don't see a version listed on CD that matches the length (4:09).

Anybody know if that version is available in a commercial digital format? Does anybody know how it varies from the LP version?

It looks like the LP version was the original release in 1989, while the DNA Mixes / DNA Urban Remixes (one and the same, likely) came out in 1991... and it appears it was the remix that made it a hit in the United States as it peaked at #11 in July 1991.

I have The DNA Urban Remixes on a promo CD single (Arista ASCD-2253) from 1991.

They are not the hit version. I was disappointed; $1, poorly spent.
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

I have another promo CD (ASCD-2188), and it has only one
nondescribed track. I'm away from home at the moment, but I will
provide some additional details on it when I return. Discogs shows a
run time of 4:19 and lists a remix credit for this version, but it's not the
DNA remix from '91.

WOW, I had completely forgotten about this song. I
listened to the DNA remix on YouTube and to the album
version and the album version is what I remember.

I don't think the song got much radio airplay back then
and certainly not now, at least locally, despite peaking
at #11 on the Hot 100 in 1991.

We played it where I worked in 1991. We were an AC at the
time, don't remember whether I heard it on any CHR or not.
I don't think it ever made it to recurrent or gold rotation
though.
I'll still hear it used occasionally to backtime to network
news, but that's about it.

I pulled my promo CD single. The printed time is 4:19, and actual time is 4:20. The credits say "Remixed by Gary Bradshaw."

Also, the song peaked at #12 on R&R's CHR chart, so it must've been played on some pop stations. I wasn't heavily listening to top 40 radio at the time, so I don't have much recollection of it.

I really liked "Lily Was Here" when it was out. It was played in heavy rotation on G105 in Raleigh-Durham at the time, IIRC. I remember hearing it quite regularly, and I listened to that station non-stop in those days. It was a very cool and different record from the other top 40 hits. Clive could always get those oddity records into the top 40.

I can confirm that Candy Dulfer's CD "Saxuality" also says "remixed by Gary Bradshaw."

"Lily Was Here" got plenty of CHR play back in the summer
of 1991. The #12 R&R peak seems spot-on to me.
