This song came on my iPod this morning and reminded me - I've looked high and low for what must be the Alternate Radio Mix of "I Believe" and never been able to find it. Can anyone send an mp3 to me? I agree that the N word is used for poignance, and it works. The station that played it in Atlanta always played the Alternate Radio Mix (over and over... and over...) :) and that is what I was used to. Just PM me. Thanks! Happy Labor Day, everyone!

I was just about to PM you to tell you that I could send you a copy. I
automatically assumed that Promo Only would have used the alternate
lyric on their Jan. 1995 Mainstream Radio disc......but to my surprise
they didn't. So I am curious as well as to where to find this version.

That's so funny - I actually own that same disc and bought it for that purpose, only to be disappointed that it was the regular album version. :-) Thanks!

Several CD's in the database are listed as having the
alternate radio mix.

Although I don't own the promo cd, I used to play it directly off that disc
when I was on their air. The promo cd definitely has the Alternate Radio
Mix.

I don't have a copy, but ISTR the promo copy we received at the station I worked at in the mid-90s had 3 mixes of that song, the album version, the "alternated radio" version and one other. Maybe Jimct can verify this.
When the PD initially carted it up, he didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, and we played the N-word version for a couple weeks until someone pointed it out.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. The promo CD that I have is not what I thought it was - it's from a company called Hitmakers. I got it at a used CD shop here in Atlanta back in the late '90s. It doesn't list which version it is. I did get a copy of the Alternate Mix - thanks!
