pat

you state that all commercial copies of the single run 3:32....both my cassingle and my 45 run 4:09, and are identical to the full cd/lp version.....could you have the promo/dj 45 as your point of reference....

My point of reference is indeed the promo vinyl 45 where the "A" side of this song is a remix which runs (3:32). The "B" side runs (4:09). Now comes the question of which side received the most airplay, the "A" side or the "B" side.

I dont remember ever hearing a remix of it on the radio when growing up, what my sister had on the album was what we heard on the radio.
Live in stereo.

In my area (Albany-Schenectady-Troy market) the 3:32 remix edit was the only version that recieved airplay.

The album mix was lame, and the remix had additional melodic hooks.

All the mainstream bars & clubs in this area played the long 12-inch version; the 3:32 was an edit of this.

Apparently the 4:09 version is the commercial 45 version, regardless of which received more airplay. It seems to me the shorter version should be referred to as DJ Edit in the database.

I could be mistaken but I think both versions were on the commercial 45. That is the problem in determining which side is the hit side. Whitburn seems to feel the remix is the hit side as he lists (3:32) as the running time in his Pop Annual.

interesting one here regarding the 45's matrix number.....the 45 does not state an a-side or a b-side, but using the standard procedure of the lower matrix number this one may be inconclusive...........the 4:09 side has a matrix number of zss 08092c while the 3:32 remix side has zss 08092a.....so maybe it's possible the remix IS the a-side.......anyone else with any info....although the 45's picture sleeve clearly states on the rear........"you got it (the right stuff)" b/w "you got it (the right stuff)" (remix)
