Yup, we did a similar edit with that where I was working at
the time. We did that also with Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't
Man Enough" (promo of that also contained the instrumental
version).

Happy to help! :) I'll still be on the lookout for a CD-R promo that may contain a "no-talk" intro.]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2016 11:02:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=45393&title=next-too-close#45393 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=45391&title=next-too-close#45391 Author: prisdeej

Oh me, oh my. Sometimes I forget what I own. I have
the maxi single, and lo and behold it can be done using
the instrumental!
Thanks Aaron.

The only promo I've ever come across is the 1-track that Smokin' TomGary lists above (although technically the disc contains a :10 call out hook on track 2, which is listed only on a sticker on the front of the case).

It's possible that a CD-R promo was sent to radio stations with a no-talk intro, as it was common around this time period. It's also possible that your local station created their own. The maxi CD single contains the instrumental version, and it would be pretty simple to splice the instrumental intro onto the "Radio Edit" to create the version you describe.]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2016 07:49:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=45383&title=next-too-close#45383 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=45378&title=next-too-close#45378 Author: prisdeej

Hey everyone!
Bumping this one up again. My local Top40 station
played a version that shortened the intro and removed
the "Yeah, come on..." spoken vocal. I'm betting this
was not an in-house edit, because of the unique audio on
the intro. Does anyone remember hearing this version?
If so, it must have been serviced on a promo CD.]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2016 15:57:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=45378&title=next-too-close#45378 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=32420&title=next-too-close#32420 Author: Smokin' TomGary

If memory serves. I remember hearing another edit at my
top 40 station. The intro was different, as it had no
spoken vocals, which lead up to "baby when we're grinding".
The intro may have been 5 seconds shorter. Does anyone
remember this edit?]]> Mon, 02 Jan 2012 23:02:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=32379&title=next-too-close#32379 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=5583&title=next-too-close#5583 Author: eric_a

I have the commercial single - Arista 13456 - with the "Radio Edit" (4:06). Spoken vocals ("Yeah...dance for me"), not the singing, come in around :06.]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2006 09:11:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=5583&title=next-too-close#5583 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=5578&title=next-too-close#5578 Author: 80smusicfreak

I don't have the regular CD single for "Too Close", but I
do have the commercial CD maxi-single on Arista 13457.
The lead track is indeed labeled "Radio Edit", w/ a
printed and actual run time of 4:06. And yes, the vocals
start at :06 on that one...]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2006 07:15:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1048&PID=5578&title=next-too-close#5578
