although not in pat's database, it did break the billboard top 40 charts in 1987......question is.....allmusic.com states that there was a 4:11 version, which would match up with the 45's run time, issued as a cd single in 1993 as a backtrax reissue.....it was issued with "lean on me", their big hit as the a-side of the cassingle.......i've never seen this as a cd single.....does anyone remember this being the case or does anyone have this re-issued cassingle format as a cd single?? ------------- edtop40 |

| Ed, did you ever receive that "Backtrax" CD/come to a definitive conclusion for this song? The A-side of my commercial 45 has a listed time of (4:11), but an actual time of (4:08). Additionally, the "B" side of my commercial 45 is simply an edited version of the same song (listed time 3:43; actual time 3:42.) Ironically, we received a promo CD sampler to the station around then, and it includes the B-side mix on it, which called it the "7" Version." To further murky the waters, BOTH sides of my promo 45 have the listed (4:11) version on it, further supporting its standing as the official "A" side. Have I heard somewhere that the 45's A-side cannot be recreated from the original "Life, Love & Pain" CD? By the way, on the same sampler I referred to earlier, they also happened to include a "12" Version" of this song. If it's still an "open item", perhaps the 45's A-side can be culled from this 12" mix... |

yes jim....a backtrax cassingle was issued in the early 90's as well as a backtrax cd single, which i bought awhile back.....and, it does contain the proper 45 version running 4:11...if anyone needs the 4:11 version of the song, let me know..... ------------- edtop40 |

Don't know how tough to find this song is but the proper 45 version can be found on Uptown Saturday Night - Jump To The Beat (Time-Life 22052) which is in the database. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Discogs lists exactly one 7" 45 RPM promo for USA radio that is supposedly a "remix / edit" and claims to run 4:01.
This would not be the first time a promo single was labeled improperly in an (alleged) attempt to get radio to consider a single they'd already skipped over. Does anybody have https://www.discogs.com/release/11748028-Club-Nouveau-Why-You-Treat-Me-So-Bad-RemixEdit - this specific promo who can determine if it is actually a 4:01 remix or if it's the same 4:08 edit on the stock 7" single? ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Interesting! For what it's worth, the 12" "Club Mix" version was remixed by the "M+M" team (John Morales, Sergei Munzibai), who also receive remix credit on the "Remix / Edit" promo 45 you just linked to. Could definitely be
an edit of the remix. |

The promo 45 arrived, and it has an edit of the Club Mix. The actual run time is 4:06. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

...but the Club Mix cannot be edited down to create the Remix/Edit. I just tried it. The first 32 seconds of the 45 are unique, and there is a unique 12-second chorus near the end that is also not found on the 12" mix. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Aaron,
There was an additional, even longer 12" remix called the 'Ultimate Nouveau Mix', that was issued on the B-Side of the 12" single. Could the promo "Remix/Edit" be an edit of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJzjaO_ooUo - this mix ? I ask because there is a longer 5-minute-ish "Radio Edit" from the 12" that is either an edit of this mix or at least borrows some sections from it. Could be the same trickery at play here ;-) Unfortunately, I've never been able to find the 'Ultimate Nouveau Mix' on CD to work with. |

Is the 12" Radio Edit taken from the Ultimate Nouveau Mix or the Club Mix? I suppose it's possible the Remix/Edit is an even more edited down version of the Radio Edit, but I don't hear any parts in the Ultimate Nouveau Mix that match the promo 45. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I can't remember, to be honest! I tried to create the 5-minute radio edit from the "Club Mix" a few years ago (not knowing the shorter remix/edit existed, even) and gave up after
realizing it wasn't possible, but at the time, I think I heard enough similarities between the sections in the "Radio Edit" that I couldn't locate in the Club Mix and the Ultimate Nouveau, to think that it was likely an edit of the latter, or a combination of both. I may have been wrong, though. I was working on the fly with this one and didn't keep any notes. |

I have a 12" copy at storage, likely unplayed, so I'll grab it when I head over there.
Regarding the Remix/Edit, the sections from 0:00-0:32 and 3:34-3:46 are unique. The sections from 0:32-3:34 and 3:46-4:06 are taken directly from the Club Mix. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I'm spinning the 12" single right now, and the intro of the 5:33 Radio Edit exactly matches the promo 45 Remix/Edit. Overall, most of the mix matches the Club Mix, but there are some unique sections as noted. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

After an A/B, I can confirm the shorter Remix/Edit is taken from the 12" Radio Edit, so the unique parts on the Remix/Edit are all found on the Radio Edit. The Radio Edit uses more of the Club Mix toward the end, which is what accounts for most of the additional 1.5-minutes between the two versions. The Radio Edit also runs slower and has an extra 8 beats on the intro, which are unique to the Radio Edit.
In other words… 0:00 to 0:37 of 12" Radio Edit are unique 0:37 to 3:42 use Club Mix 3:42 to 3:54 of 12" Radio Edit are unique 3:54 to end use Club Mix The Remix/Edit is sped up by approximately 1.5% and removes 0:02 to 0:07 and 4:00 to 5:18 of the 12" Radio Edit. There are probably only three people in the universe that needed this information. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Thank you for your service!!
As a #2 R&B hit in BB, I’m sure it’s beloved to more folks than its meager Hot 100 peak would indicate! |
