The actual commercial 45 run time of Dr. Hook's "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" is 2:56. (Thanks to my good friend Abagon for relaying the timing info. The printed record label time is 2:58.) I bring this up because the song's database CD entries run from 2:52-2:57.

There exists a 12" promo with a 5:12 remix. Not only is it a unique "disco" mix, but the song is sped up by a whopping 4%.
This may warrant its own thread, but does anyone know of any other top 40 hits from the '70s that had promo 12" mixes/edits not released commercially? I can say for certain there are 12" promo remixes of "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart and "Lotta Love" by Nicolette Larson, as well as a unique promo 12" edit of "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione. Any others? Edited by aaronk |

Boney M's "Rivers Of Babylon" 12-inch promo remix was mentioned several years ago in the thread for that song. Listed times were 7:30 and 4:06, with the shorter side being edited further for the 3:45 RE-2 DJ 45 reservice. I've never seen a domestic commercial release for either of those.

I have a commercial 12" of "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy." Does this mean it
differs from the promo 12" version? |

There are 12" promos of the Doobie Brothers' "What A Fool Believes"
as well as one for "You're The Love" by Seals & Crofts. Have not seen either on a commercial CD. |

I dont think the 12" Mix of "Lotta Love" by Nicolette Larson was commercially available.

Interesting! I'm guessing it's the same mix, but I didn't realize it was released on a commercial 12". |

The Doobie Brothers was released on a commercial 12", though. Not sure about the Seals and Crofts. Also, I should have been more clear. I was wondering about unique promo 12" versions that were not commercially available on 12" at the time of release. Since we have done such a thorough job of documenting promo 7" versions, I thought there may be a few on 12" singles that were promo only versions. I would think that most promo 12" singles were also released commercially, but there are obviously a few that only went to DJs and radio. Also, I'm not asking about promo versions that were serviced on both 7" and 12" singles. Just looking for what may have been unique to promo 12" vinyl. The Saturday Night Fever promo "Disco Mixes" is another one that comes to mind. Edited by aaronk |

The 12" promo of Superman by The Kinks has a shorter edit that to my
knowledge was only available on the promo 12". EDIT...... Sorry, just realized that Superman was not a top 40 hit. Edited by Fetta |
