Mariah Carey - Honey

Here's some info on the promo CDs for "Honey":

CSK 1489
1. LP Version (4:59)
2. Bad Boy Remix (5:32)
3. Smooth Version With Intro (4:47)
4. Smooth Version Without Intro (4:25)

I do not own the above CD to verify the times.

CSK 2927
1. Smooth Version (listed 4:25, actual 4:47)

I own this disc, and it has the printed time from the "without intro" version but actually contains the "with intro" version. There is no indicator of "with" or "without intro" on the insert or disc.

I'm 99% certain our station played the "Smooth Version With Intro," but I honestly don't remember all that clearly. The "Smooth Version" is very similar to the LP version, so it's also possible we played the LP. My Promo Only CD has the "Smooth Version With Intro," but they faded it 15 seconds early.

On my Promo Only Mainstream Radio CD subscription series, "Honey" is listed as the "Smooth Version" (does not indicate if it's with or without the intro) and has an actual run time of 4:32. This doesn't match up with any of the listed or actual times on the "Honey" promo CD singles that Aaron posted, so it's very possible the "Smooth Version" was altered in some way on the Promo Only disc (i.e. - faded early, edited, extended length).

By the way, John, did you ever received your "Honey" CSK 1489 promo CD single? If so, could you please pass along the actual run time info for us? Thanks!

I hate when Promo Only does that. Thanks for confirming though, Aaron.

I also meant to ask... Does anyone have commercial single run time info for "Honey"?

Thanks, Ed! I don't recall ever hearing the "Bad Boy Remix" before, so it would appear Track 1 is the true single version.
