Karyn White - "Romantic"

As reported in another thread, the "Edit" is just an early fade of the LP version.

The LP version is available on:

• Ritual Of Love (Warner Bros. 9 26320-2, 1991; runs 4:06)
• Living In The 90s (Razor & Tie S22-18601, 1995; runs 4:06; digitally exactly 0.6 dB quieter than Ritual Of Love)
• Pump Up The Jam! '90s Dance Hits (Realm OPCD-3601, 2002; runs 4:05)

The sound quality on all three is comparable.

I have the "Edit" on Top Hits USA RH11, which runs about 3:52. (I'm just beginning to compare my Top Hits USA "RH" recurrents library with commercially available discs, and I don't know if they did any in-house edits. I doubt that they did, but I'll keep you posted if I find any.)

Based on my timing for Living In The 90s, the fade is a 16-beat fade from 3:43.4 to 3:52.2.

RPM did do some house edits especially eliminating some of the controversial lyrics of songs. They also faded the songs early in many occasions on the discs they released in the 90's.

My promo CD single info is as follows:

Warner Bros. PRO-CD-4800
1. Edit (listed & actual 3:56)
2. Album Version (listed 4:10; actual 4:05)

As Ron points out above, the "Edit" is an early fade of the LP version, although Top Hits USA disc fades it a few seconds earlier than the promo CD.

Interestingly, the US maxi CD single has a version called "Single Mix" that runs 4:06. This version is remixed by Shep Pettibone, so it doesn't match the LP version or the "Edit."

Yessir!
