I own a promo CD single of Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Juice" from 1994 and it contains only one version of the song (no version mentioned either) and it omits the word "indo" and replaces it with a sound effect of someone inhaling. Was this the clean radio edit?

What's the catalog number of your 1-track promo? "What's My Name" was definitely a 1-track promo, but I've never seen a US 1-track for "Gin And Juice." Either way, the version you describe is the "Radio Version (No Indo)" from PRCD-5456.

Am I the only one who had to Google "indo"? Never heard
the word before.

I'm stunned they put the explicit 'full version' (which is both the album and commercial single version) on the Last Christmas soundtrack. I don't believe a clean full version has ever been released.

Are you referring to Gin & Juice or Fastlove?

They’re definitely talking about Fastlove.
In response to whether a clean version has been commercially released, I know it has been and appears on the “Now! That’s What I Call Music 96” (a UK release) released in 2017. It’s the album (5:24) length but clean. Two subsequent appearances on UK Now compilations seem to also be this length, but whether those ones are clean I cannot confirm. A cursory Discogs search reveals:
  • “Now That's What I Call 40 Years” (2023)
  • “Now That's What I Call 40 Years: Volume 2 1993-2003” (2023)
Two appearances prior to 2017:
  • “Now That's What I Call Music! Decades - The Deluxe Edition” (2003)
  • “Now That's What I Call The 90s“ (2009)

Sorry for the poor formatting, it’s a bit of a nightmare on a phone.
 

The version that appears on "Now That's What I Call 40 Years” (2023) is the Radio Edit from the UK Promo CD, a bit odd as this wasn't the official single release in the UK. It's not a "clean" edit.

I see what you mean. After a little more research, that and the aforementioned '93-'03 release both feature the (~ 4:42) "Promo Edit"; indeed, not clean. Since that edit became available on the expanded "Older" album in 2022, it has effectively been much easier to license and I understand the logic of using that version (as played on the radio) instead of the longer (5:24) album / single version.
