My US promo CD (Arista ASCD-2979) has the following tracks (all printed run times are accurate within a second or two):

1. Acoustic Version - 2:52 (has the guitar slap/pick at the end; the A-side of commercial cassette and 7-inch singles)
2. European Mix - 2:52
3. Frankie Knuckles Mix - 3:41 (this is the version currently identified as 'remix' in the database; the B-side of commercial cassette and 7-inch singles)
4. Vission Lorimer Edit - 3:37


FWIW, the version on the Canadian CD, Hit Zone 2, is the acoustic version without the guitar slap/pick at the end.

I always heard the acoustic version on radio stations, too. I was happy to later find the more electronic version and actually like both versions a lot.

BTW, a strange thing. I just read this post now, but about 4 hours ago, I was looking at a folder on my computer and saw "Lucky Love"!]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2018 03:27:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5037&PID=50780&title=lucky-love-ace-of-base#50780 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5037&PID=50779&title=lucky-love-ace-of-base#50779 Author: aaronk

Ron, I do recall hearing the European Mix (aka Original Version) on CHR stations. It's cut 2 on the US promo CD single. The station I worked for always played the Acoustic Version, though, which is cut 1.]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2018 23:03:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5037&PID=50779&title=lucky-love-ace-of-base#50779 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5037&PID=50778&title=lucky-love-ace-of-base#50778 Author: Ron S

I believe this is the correct remix version of the song our radio station played...

Hmmm....the acoustic version was never played in our radio station. The one
that was played was a remix uptempo version which I thought was the hit
version of the song. The remix version is hard to find on CD and is only
available on import. ]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2018 18:54:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5037&PID=50777&title=lucky-love-ace-of-base#50777 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5037&PID=24088&title=lucky-love-ace-of-base#24088 Author: edtop40

Ok, I just now noticed something else... On my U.K. import CD single release of "Lucky Love" (Mega 577247), something can clearly be heard at the tail end of the "acoustic version" that sounds like the acoustic guitar player gently slapping his/her guitar strings to abruptly end the final note. This guitar slap is not heard at the end of the Ace of Base The Bridge CD on Arista 18806.

Does anyone have a U.S. commercial single release who can report if the guitar slap is present at the very end?

or even better, "acoustic version, which is the U.S. single and album version". I think that's clearest of all.
