End Of The Road - Boyz II Men

I thought this might be a useful supplement to the promo CD single info currently in the database. But Ed just said two posts before that (in an old post) that the commercial cassette single runs 5:06, so something's amiss here.

Brian:

I believe Ed's 5:06 commercial single run time was referring to BLACKstreet featuring Dr. Dre's "No Diggity", not "End of the Road".

This is Aaron's findings on "End Of The Road" - the Pop Edit of "End Of The Road" removes the spoken introduction as well as the spoken part in the middle. Both Radio Edits remove the spoken introduction but leave the spoken part in the middle. After the spoken part, the "Acapella End" edits immediately to the last chorus where it ends acapella, while the "Fade End" version does not make any additional edits and simply fades early. The "Fade End" version also has two drum machine hi-hat taps prior to the start of the song, which is not found on any of the other versions on the promo CD.

The music video on YouTube uses the Radio Edit with Acapella End.
