All Saints-Never Ever

It's on a 2-cd Columbia/Sony set titled "All Time Great Love Songs of the 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's vol 3." Does anyone know anything about this version?

Does it have a cold ending, or does it fade like the 45 mix?

At the time, we initially carted this song off the white label promo 12". It was some mix that was not exactly the same as the 45 mix on the CD single, but close. It wasn't one of the "hip hop" remixes, and I'm sure it wasn't as long as the 6:25 album version. I don't remember much beyond that, but I'll see if I can find the record.

That reminds me...when the song was first carted, the record had a skip and repeated one line of the song. No one fixed it for a few weeks, so the song had that skip every time it played. Oops.

Well, the 45 version is the version that was the leadoff track on the commercial CD single, which runs an actual 4:43, so the database is correct. The single also has the Rickidy Raw Urban Mix, running 4:19, and a song called "I Remember."

Not sure what the 5:12 version is... the LP version runs 6:27.

The "(U.K.) Radio Version" clocks at 5:16. This version was used for the rest of the world as well, except North America. It can found on all of the CD Maxi Singles released
outside of North America.

The 4.45 version is the "(U.S.) Single Version", which was used for the U.S. and Canada. I don't even remember this version, but if I were to venture a guess, I would say that this
version gets rid of the spoken intro?

Anyone know about the 3:47 short radio version?

By the way, I've not seen an official US promo with the "Short Radio Edit"; however, discogs lists a German promo CD with this version. Sometimes, TM has issued non-US edits of songs on the US HitDisc ("A" discs) and GoldDisc libraries. I believe this is because they are serviced European releases/promos in addition to US releases.
