Toni Braxton

Thanks for the extensive promo CD info, Pat and Jim. I remember being somewhat surprised at the success of "Another Sad Love Song" on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart when the song came out because I thought it carried a bit more of an urban sound than one may have been accustomed to hearing on the format at the time. Perhaps the "Softer Mix" on Jim's promo CD single was remixed slightly to accommodate AC stations, much like the electric guitar was often subdued or removed from rock-leaning songs that crossed over to AC during the late '80s to mid-'90s.

The video of "Another sad love song" runs around 3:50.

The database currently says that the 4:06 version of "You're Makin' Me High" on Ultimate is a "45 length".

The version of Ultimate on Qobuz lists the track as "Radio Edit", and it does indeed match the "Radio Edit" from the promo CD single.

In other words, it's a real edit, and not just an early fade, as "45 length" would indicate.

It appears that the CD single and vinyl 45 (!) also include the "Radio Edit".

I'd recommend changing the entries that currently say "LP length" to "LP version", and changing the entries that currently say "45 length" to "Single Version" or something to that effect.

I have been unable to find a truly lossless copy of the
4:26 "Radio Mix" of Toni's "Spanish Guitar". The several
radio promo CDs I have containing it all have MP3
compression artifacts.

Can anyone confirm whether the commercial CD singles
containing it are lossless or also transcoded from MP3?
