If it's rarely played, that's really sad because that was one of the best #1 songs of the early '90s. A great pop song. I mostly heard the album version but I recall the remix (which I, too, felt killed the vibe of the original) was played on the radio. And maybe the video was remixed, as was pointed out here. I figured they did this mix, and especially that of "That's What Love Is For" (and to some extent, "Good For Me") to aim for urban radio play.

That said, the single remix of "Every Heartbeat" is amazing, and I find the LP version very disappointing.

I guess in many cases, it depends on which version we heard first - and over and over. Then, the 'other' version is a disappointment :)

The 7” Heart in Motion mix is the version our local (Gadsden AL) Top
40 station played day in and out (and is what made me a fan), and I
once in the car caught the 7” No Getting Over You version on a
competing station in Birmingham. I never heard the LP Version on the
radio until later recurrent play, probably around the time “Lucky One”
was released in 1994.

I also recall seeing the 7” Heart in Motion mix re-dubbed over the
original video on VH-1, kind of like had been done with Madonna’s
“Express Yourself” a couple of years prior— but that may have been a
fluke, I wasn’t a regular VH1 watcher in those days.

Though this falls outside the criteria of the forum, the LP version always feels more like the "hit" to me since it was the only version MTV and VH1 played.

Hourly.

For months.

My local top 40 was playing the LP version while Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40 (airing locally on the same station) played the Heart In Motion edit.

the regular LP version video. There are people on YouTube who claim that a video for the remix was also aired.

I have a note that jimct's station KC101 aired "Cut 1" of the promo CD, which is the LP version. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I only heard the LP version on my local top 40 station.

Here are the promo CD contents:

75021 7512 2
1. LP Version (listed & actual 3:56)
2. 7" No Getting Over You Mix (listed & actual 4:01)
3. 7" Heart In Motion Mix (listed & actual 3:50)
4. 12" No Getting Over You Mix (listed & actual 5:57)
5. 12" Heart In Motion Mix (listed & actual 6:02)


I'm going out on a limb here and saying the "7 inch Heart In Motion Mix" was mostly what was played on stations around these parts. At least that's how I remember it because, I too was disappointed when I discovered
the album version wasn't the same as what was played on the radio. I was working for a company that was regularly receiving HitDiscs, so my search was short to find the "Right" version.

Apologies to PopArchivist!

version

I'm quite certain that I heard the 7" No Getting Over
You Mix, which is actually my preferred version.

(I also recall reading an interview with Amy Grant where she said she laughed the first time she heard the remix.)


Amy Grant laughed because that remix is beyond bad, it is awful. It basically kills the nice vibe of the LP version. Long live the LP version! I go on record saying all I ever heard was the LP version. Talk about hearing this great song (the LP version)* and listening to this weird version that sounds like a bad techno trip!

*If you didn't figure out I like the LP version, you might have missed something :)

I recall hearing both the LP mix and 7" Heart in Motion Mix on the radio. Probably the single remix on the CHR station (KIIS-FM), and the LP mix on the AC stations KBIG and KOST.

All I hear the top 40 in Tulsa play was the Heat In Motion 7" mix, and like I said 6 years ago, Rick Dees played the remix on his national countdown.

The local Christian AC played the LP version of course.

I can't speak for other markers.
