Aaron, are you familiar with The Mandela Effect? I truly believe this is what's happening here.

Perhaps, but I can say that personally I had never heard the DJ Lelewel remix (including the "Radio Mix") at all until the mid-2000s when I started collecting more extensively. That mix was completely unfamiliar to me.

Hi all,

In 1990 Providence was a 2 Top 40 market.   WPRO-FM & WWKX. WFHN on the fringe in New Bedford.   

Around 1998-2000 WFHN was still a heavy recurrent station, spinning cuts from the prior 10 years. Around that time I heard them spin the "Original Remix Radio Edit", and something jumped at me which felt very strange -- that intro. It just sounded wrong, it really changed the feeling of which I heard a number of times on the other two stations.

I heard the Video Edit more than once on WWKX between 1995-1997 and quite possibly on WPRO-FM as well. Wish I kept in contact with those folks, I'd ask them to pull the CD.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

If you could only use the tracks on the two promo CDs (if you're collecting US Dance #1s in their radio airplay form) - would the "Original Remix Radio Edit" be the correct choice as opposed to the "Radio Mix"?

It's interesting to me that the "Dance Radio Edit" is track 1 on the 8-track promo CD.

As mentioned upthread already, the Radio Mix (edit of DJ Lelewel Remix), despite being the official single version, was not the U.S. radio hit, as far as any of us remember.

My experience is the same as aaronk's. I'm certain I heard the album version at the time. I was always shocked that the phrase "acid house" was on mainstream radio.

I checked old episodes of Casey's Top 40.

The first few weeks of the chart run used the Original Remix Radio Edit.
The last few weeks used an edit of the DJ Lelewel remix that wasn't the official DJ Lelewel Mix Edit (which was also the UK 45 version). It may have been an in-house edit.

I myself only remember hearing the LP version back in 1991, but I'm a small sample size and I was plugged into Minneapolis radio at the time (WLOL until they signed off in Feb 1991, then KDWB - those are the only two that would have played the song at the time).
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
