	Jebsib and Ed, my promo CD single (PRCD2646) has only one version on it. Like Ed's cassette, it is titled (7" mix). I have just timed it. It has a listed time of (4:08) and an actual time of (4:06). Is this another case of "those mysterious, faster-running cassettes?"

	My stock 45, also labeled 7" Mix, has a label time of 4:05, but runs 4:02.

	It appears there was a 2nd promo CD for "Buffalo Stance," as I just picked it up. Here are the detals: PRCD2726 1. Radio Edit (3:38 - listed and actual) 2. 7" Mix (4:07 - listed and actual) As soon as I listened to track 1, I immediately recalled hearing this version before. Could it be the "neither" version listed on Only Soul? The "Radio Edit" starts with just some synthesizers (no drums) for 11 seconds, and the vocals start with the chorus ("He's looking good today / He's looking good in every way"). It completely skips the first verse. I think the remainder of the song is the same as the 7" Mix, but I haven't compared the two directly. Edited by aaronk

	Aaron, I too have the PRCD2726 disc. The 3:38 Radio Edit is indeed similar to the version on Only Soul, but the version on O.S. has an extra measure on the synthesizer before the lyrics come in and an edit near the end of the song that brings its length back to being close to the promo Radio Edit version. For what it's worth, WLOL/Minneapolis played the Radio Edit back in the day.

	I remember a station I used to listen to played a "no rap" version. It cut out the 1st and 2nd (rap) verses but left in the first two choruses as well as the "what's he like" bridge. Maybe this is the "radio edit"?

	Well, it's not the "Radio Edit" on my promo CD. Only the first verse is removed. Perhaps there was a third promo CD, or maybe some stations did a custom edit. The first verse definitely has the most questionable lyrics (although tame compared to today's standards). It's the one that talks about "padded bras / suckin' beer through straws," etc.
