The commercial 45 length of David & David's "Welcome to the Boomtown" is 5:28. (Timing info comes compliments of abagon. The printed record label time is 5:30.) The reason I post this is because to date all database CD appearances of this song run slightly longer.
Does anyone have the David & David parent vinyl LP Boomtown from 1986 on A&M? I ask because I suspect the LP length of "Welcome to the Boomtown" may be several seconds longer than the 45. |

FYI, the DJ edited version with the censored lyric cannot be pasted into the LP version because the 'cheap thrills' does not exist in the LP version.
This song is definitely a forgotten favorite... |

| Just headed to YouTube...the video runs 3:55, yet still features the 'cocaine' lyric. |

| There are two DJ edited versions. One retains the LP lyrics, while the other has the cheap thrills lyrics. Both of them are the same length, if I recall correctly. The one with the alternate lyrics is also a very slightly different mix. |

I assume from this that the uncensored promo edit can be extracted from the stock 45/LP version? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

I think you meant to say "cannot be extracted." The censored promo
contains lyrics that are not on the LP version. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Sorry, I misread Doug's post. Yes, the uncensored promo CAN be
created from the LP/stock 45 version. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Two questions: does anybody have the edit points to recreate the uncensored promo version?
Also, has the censored promo version appeared anywhere in digital form? ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Basically, just join the third and final chorus after the second verse, deleting the second chorus and bridge. The censored version has never been issued in digital form as far as I know. Can't even find it on YouTube. I honestly wondered how many stations played that P.C. version of it, seeing as the song doesn't glorify drug use at all. |
