There appears to be largely a split opinion in this message thread regarding which version of "Baby Baby" received the most radio airplay between the "LP Version" and the "7-Inch Heart in Motion Mix". (Between the two, I personally always heard the "LP version" played on the radio, including on Shadoe Stevens' American Top 40 countdown show, though I do recall also occasionally hearing the "7-Inch No Getting Over You" mix air on AC radio stations.)

I can see the full comment in Google Chrome, and I haven't changed anything. What browser are you using?

I've always heard this lyric as "now that you're mine."

Ugh, sorry, Aaron! I screwed up my previous post... The title notes should read: (commercial 45 and cassette single copies run (3:56) the "LP version"; commercial CD single copies run (3:56) the "7-Inch Heart in Motion" mix). I went back and corrected my previous post accordingly, which incorrectly stated that commercial cassette and CD single copies contain the LP version.

When I'm assembling my various Billboard Hot 100-related
playlists, I tend to seek out the version that was on the
most dominant commercially available single source at the
time, whether it was the 45 or (later) the cassette single
or (even later) the CD single. There were too many variants
that radio stations played across multiple markets, so to
me the "definitive" version is whatever was on the single
A-side (or track 1). So, in "Baby Baby"'s case, it was the
cassette single, and thus the "LP Version" is the "correct"
version (to me, anyway). This forum has been a huge help to
me in this regard over the years, and I'm happy to now be
registered here!
