I can only speak for the vinyl 45, but what you're describing was on the 45. By that time though, vinyl wasn't the main singles format anymore.

I was digging through my 45s looking for "It Must Have Been Love", and discovered that I have a commercial US 45 for "Dangerous". Neat!

The A-side is labelled 'LP version', with a printed time of 3:50. It starts with 16 beats of the guitar intro, like all the CDs I described above.

The B-side is also "Dangerous", labelled '12" Version' with a printed time of 6:26. It's the same as the 'Waste Of Vinyl 12" Mix' from my Swedish (?) CD single, also with a printed time of 6:26.

Does this mean that the "hit", and the only version commercially released here in the US, is the guitar-intro LP version? (Excluding the 12", of course.)

That depends on your definition of "hit version," I suppose. I remember hearing that acapella intro version on the air quite a bit, so there could be more than one "hit" version, in my opinion.

This version also appears on my Canadian pressing of this CD. Can someone confirm which version appears on the U.S. pressing of the Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus - Greatest Hits CD?

As previously stated in this thread, the U.S. single version is the same version that appeared on the Look Sharp! album.

Don't know if this helps, but my US promo of Don't Bore Us has the acapella intro version.

Mainrhythm, I think you might be onto something. Perhaps the database needs to reflect this info.

I have obtained the cassette single of "Dangerous" and the lead track states "album version" and is indeed the album version as found on the "Look Sharp" album.

Consider that I always heard the acapella version (the 7 inch club edit) here in New York back in 1990 on the stations, so I can confirm. So I concur with Aaron that both probably got airplay. In a year where almost everything is a cd single, I would go with the 7 inch club edit.

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Seemed about 50/50 where I was at the time (southern
N.H./Boston market). We played the album version at
first, switched to the club edit later.

ISTR Kiss 108 in Boston playing both.
