| There is a 3:12 version of Iesha by Another Bad Creation that has shown up on a couple of cd's like "Absolutely '90s" on Hip-O Records. Can anyone pass along the original source for this 3:12 version? |

| There is a mix called the 7" Version, but I'm not sure of the run time; I've only seen a listing for it online. I can tell you this much, TM Century's HitDisc series has the 3:12 version you are talking about, so it is likely that the promo single used this version. I cannot say for sure if the promo single has the 7" Version or a different edit. |

| I've been trying to track down the original source of this 3:12 version of Another Bad Creation's "Iesha" for a while now. I'm inclined to believe this is a radio edit that came from a promo single release, but I still haven't been able to substantiate this. |

I have now a photo copy of the dj cd single of Iesha which has 4 different versions on it:
1) LP version (4:30) 2) Stupid Club mix (7:15) 3) 7" version (3:10) 4) Mental Mix (4:23 This seems rather straight forward that the 45 version ran 3:10 however Whitburn lists the running time as 4:07. Does anyone have the commercial cassette single to verify the actual running time? ------------- Top 40 Music On Compact Disc Moderator |

Pat:
A while back, I posted some info regarding the "Iesha" commercial cassette single on the "Single/album distinctions..." message thread. Edtop40 has a cassingle copy and he says it's the same as the "LP version", except the single fades out a few seconds sooner at 4:17. He also noted the cassette single's label and cardboard sleeve both specifically state "LP version". What's interesting here is I seem to recall reading somewhere that commercial vinyl 45 copies feature the 3:12 edit, which would certainly make sense here given that this edit is called the '7" version'. |

my commercial cassingle contains the "lp version" as the A-side.....while it IS the lp version the song fades out quickly for 0:04 from 4:14 to 4:18.....the full cd version runs 4:21.....by doing this you will have proper replicated the true 45/cassingle version.... ------------- edtop40 |

I just pulled my copy of the commercial 45 (Motown MOTS7-2132), i haven't got time to play it tonight, however the label lists the time as 4:20 and specifys (LP Version) on the label. I have no idea if this side is the A side or if Playground on the other side is the A side. ------------- Live in stereo. |

| Bumping this one up yet again... Was it ever officially confirmed that the two 3:11-3:12 database CD appearances of "Iesha" are the 7" Version found on the DJ CD single? |

| FYI... As Ed reported previously, the cassette single runs 4:18, while the album run time is 4:21. |

| After more than four years, it looks like we can finally put this one to rest. Thanks, Jim! |

isn't it crazy how record company decision makers will issue a version as the 7 inch version on one format and never ever issue the 7 inch version on the actual 7 inch format.....as much i love the music i'm always puzzled with the music business....thank god i'll always be a collector a NOT a music business person....amazing!!....who decides these kinds of things? ------------- edtop40 |

This was especially true during the '90s, and yes, it didn't seem to make much sense at times. I always wondered exactly how they decided what to release on 7-inch during the '90s - in many cases it was the biggest hits, but there were some big hits that weren't on 7-inch, and other much smaller ones that were. Sometimes with a major artist they'd skip one - Gloria Estefan is a good example. She had one single in the mid-90s that wasn't on a 45 (it was issued as cassette-only), but all her others were. Strange how they decided not to do that one particular title on vinyl. I also noticed on some 12-inch singles that one of the mixes was called "7-inch edit"; yet for those particular songs no actual 7-inch was released. Head-scratching...but interesting times nonetheless! :) |

Some copies of this song's parent album, "Coolin' At The Playground Ya Know!", are listed on Discogs with "Iesha" running 7:13. Is it possible there were different pressings of this album, with some copies running 7:13 for the song and others running 4:21? The 7:13 time would seem to be the "Stupid Club" mix from the promo. ------------- Dan In Philly |
