Such confusion over a song rarely or never played anymore

The 7" No Getting Over Me mix at least is close to the Lp
version

Was this another Amy Grant hit where airplay was somewhat split between the 7" Heart In Motion Mix and the LP Version? I watched a fair amount of MTV during this time, and I don't ever recall seeing anything but
the regular LP version video. There are people on YouTube who claim that a video for the remix was also aired.
I have a note that jimct's station KC101 aired "Cut 1" of the promo CD, which is the LP version. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I only heard the LP version on my local top 40 station.
Here are the promo CD contents:
75021 7512 2
1. LP Version (listed & actual 3:56)
2. 7" No Getting Over You Mix (listed & actual 4:01)
3. 7" Heart In Motion Mix (listed & actual 3:50)
4. 12" No Getting Over You Mix (listed & actual 5:57)
5. 12" Heart In Motion Mix (listed & actual 6:02) |

I'm going out on a limb here and saying the "7 inch Heart In Motion Mix" was mostly what was played on stations around these parts. At least that's how I remember it because, I too was disappointed when I discovered
the album version wasn't the same as what was played on the radio. I was working for a company that was regularly receiving HitDiscs, so my search was short to find the "Right" version.
Apologies to PopArchivist!

My local top 40 was playing the LP version while Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40 (airing locally on the same station) played the Heart In Motion edit.

Though this falls outside the criteria of the forum, the LP version always feels more like the "hit" to me since it was the only version MTV and VH1 played.
Hourly.
For months.

The 7” Heart in Motion mix is the version our local (Gadsden AL) Top
40 station played day in and out (and is what made me a fan), and I
once in the car caught the 7” No Getting Over You version on a
competing station in Birmingham. I never heard the LP Version on the
radio until later recurrent play, probably around the time “Lucky One”
was released in 1994.
I also recall seeing the 7” Heart in Motion mix re-dubbed over the
original video on VH-1, kind of like had been done with Madonna’s
“Express Yourself” a couple of years prior— but that may have been a
fluke, I wasn’t a regular VH1 watcher in those days.

If it's rarely played, that's really sad because that was one of the best #1 songs of the early '90s. A great pop song. I mostly heard the album version but I recall the remix (which I, too, felt killed the vibe of the original) was played on the radio. And maybe the video was remixed, as was pointed out here. I figured they did this mix, and especially that of "That's What Love Is For" (and to some extent, "Good For Me") to aim for urban radio play.
That said, the single remix of "Every Heartbeat" is amazing, and I find the LP version very disappointing.
I guess in many cases, it depends on which version we heard first - and over and over. Then, the 'other' version is a disappointment :)

That pretty much hits the nail on the proverbial head. I also did some regular teen night dances back in the 90's when boy bands and girl bands were at the top of their game. It was a huge disappointment to
the kids when some tracks were only available as a LP version. Since the internet wasn't in full bloom at the time, it was difficult sometimes to get information as to which version was most popular.
And, since just about every single issue had multiple remixes, it was getting to be more expensive to keep multiple versions on hand. Not to mention "White" Labels and Remix services.

Every radio station I've ever listened to has played either the album version or the "No Getting Over You Mix" of "Baby Baby". I've never heard the "Heart in Motion Mix" until just now when I played it online... and it's awful. Unlike most dance remixes, it actually sounds slower and more depressing than the original!

The "Heart In Motion" remix sounds vaguely like Madonna's
'Justify My Love'. I don't ever recall hearing it on the
air. I generally only remember the LP mix or the "No
Getting Over You" remix.

I agree the LP version was what was played back then.
