Huh... I just bought the Special Radio Edit for "Jesus to a Child" a few weeks ago, Todd. I knew there was more than one promo, but I'd assumed the Radio Edit was the same as the Special Radio Edit. Interesting.

Just out of curiosity, did any of the singles from FAITH have radio edits for radio? I have most of the 45s and 12" singles, and I've been surprised that several, especially "One More Try" and "Father Figure", were released as 45s running 5:30+. Did radio play edits?

I don't recall ever hearing an edited single from the Faith album on the radio, not even the very long "One More Try."

Though there may not have been an official edit for the single "Faith", all the stations I listened to edited out the string/classical part of the intro and came in at the guitar strumming.

Don't forget that "Monkey" was a special promo/commercial MIX.

I don't recall ever hearing an edited version of "Father Figure" or "One More Try" on the radio either. As for "Faith", I do remember hearing the song on the radio both with the organ fade-in intro and without the organ intro. I don't know if a promo 45 was ever issued without the intro intact, or if DJs simply cued the song to the point where the acoustic guitar starts strumming.

I also have never heard of any official edits of the Faith singles mentioned above; however, TM Century issued the "Faith" edit with the intro chopped off. This doesn't necessarily mean it came from an official promo, though.

I have a 4:07 version of Father Figure from a radio cd.

My TM Century GoldDisc has an "Edit" of "Too Funky," in addition to the standard single version. The edit cuts the talking off the ending, so you just hear some slight reverb after the "yeah, yeah." I suppose it's possible that they created this version themselves.
