In my DJ library, it's the actual edit. But, I
agree, probably the botched edit on the radio. |

The intro is crossfaded between the instrumental opening and the first
verse. |

Thanks! I'll have to listen more closely next time it comes on the radio. |

At some point, the original mix of "Sledgehammer" was swapped out for the video remix on digital versions of So and a couple of his hits compilations. I was surprised to hear this when streaming the song on Spotify. The most notable difference is the added synthesizer that appears from 3:17 to 3:37. Unlike the video, though, this has the full LP performance and fade out at the end, rather than the percussion from the Extended Dance Remix.
Although it's very subtle, this remix is different from start to finish. There are slightly different reverb/echo effects on one of the synths throughout, so it's not just a case of overdubs at the 3:17 mark. On Spotify, the album is labeled as 2012 Remaster, but this is not true. I have a rip of the CD 2012 remaster, and it's not the video remix on the CD version. Anyhow, it's pretty cool to have this remix in perfect sound quality after all these years. |
