Sorry Aaron, its the 20 seconds of speech by UB40 that opens the single version instead of starting on the instrumental.

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Oh, okay. That portion sounds fully sung to my ears (just without any percussion behind it), so I was confused about the "talking."

There's one version that has a busier-sounding
bassline... I'm pretty sure it's on UB40's album but is not the hit version from the Sliver soundtrack. The soundtrack version was the one that got serviced to radio - everybody got the version that started with the singing of the first verse with minimal instrumentation (just a keyboard-string background), but many stations cued past that to get to the part where the beat kicks in. The 3:01 version without that sung intro was then sent to radio. |

I would call the intro as sung "Acapella." I'm going to have to revisit it to find the "Minimal Instrumentation." As far as I remember, it was only the singer. |

<Dave> Someone please tell I-Heart Radio that St. Louis is not known as The Loo!

There are definitely synthesizers along with the singing, although they
are at a low volume level. |

Here's the "Promises And Lies" version. The only difference is that Ali's vocals
are dry and lower in the mix during the first verse. On the "Sliver" hit version, there's a delay on his vocals making them sound thicker. The drum machine is lower in the mix. UB40- Promises And Lies Version |

The basslines are also completely different. In that "Promises & Lies" version, the bassline doesn't follow the chord changes like it does in the single mix. It's almost as though they re-wrote it to make the song more musical and just a bit less reggae- influenced. Edited by BSharp |
