I actually posted some in-depth info on this years ago in the following thread:

"DJ edit" additions...

The track listing in the promo CD single are misleading and confusing, so here's how I attempted to explain it:

BABYFACE - MY KINDA GIRL (Solar/Epic ZSK 2086)
1) Radio Mix - 5:07
2) Racquet Gass Dub - 6:07
3) Scratch Mix - 7:07
4) Single Version - 4:08
5) Instrumental - 4:28
6) L.A. Face Bonus Beats - 5:26
7) Dope Dutt Dub Mix - 5:27

Comments: I think most would agree that it'd be a mess trying to list all seven of these remixes as "DJ edits" in the book, especially considering that this song never garnered enough airplay to warrant recognition for seven different mixes. (I'm not even sure why any radio station would see a need to program the "instrumental" version on their playlist.) Therefore, I'm going to focus on the two versions that would most likely interest Top 40 radio programmers - the "radio mix" and the "single version". Now what's interesting here is the commercial vinyl 45 and cassette single releases both feature the radio mix and do not contain the so-called single version. I'm guessing that the single version was originally intended to be the 45 version, but for whatever reason the execs at Solar later decided to promote the extended radio mix as the official commercial 45 single instead. Thus, to sum up the paradox here, the 5:07 "radio mix" is actually the 45 version, while the 4:08 "single version" is an edit of the radio mix. Incidentally, the LP version runs 4:38 and is not included on this promo CD.

********************

Again, it should probably be further clarified in the database that the single version is the "Radio Mix" and, according to my notes, has an actual run time of 5:07. Hopefully, Ed can report back and confirm the timing info on his copy as well.

One more thing... A commercial maxi-CD single was released for "My Kinda Girl" in 1990 and I believe it contains the same tracks as on the promo CD single, but in a different order. I was planning to pick up a commercial maxi-CD single copy for myself. However, if anyone already has one, please feel free to relay the timing info.

It's noted in the database that the "Single Version" on the promo CD single is not the actual single version. What is the single version of "My Kinda Girl" by Babyface?]]> Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:59:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5095&PID=23213&title=babyface-my-kinda-girl#23213
