Can anyone tell me which domestic and foreign CDs have the US single mix and the European single mix?
I paid to upgrade my service a couple days ago but I still don't have access to the updated database, so I can't even look up which domestic CDs of the past year have the US single mix, and I think there's at least one now ("Playlist"?) |

There's also a foreign CD with a single mix of the song on this CD (Very Best Of):
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wcfpxqydldke Does anyone have this CD and can tell whether it has the US or European single mix or album mix? |

"Playlist" is the only readily available CD with the U.S. 45 version. It was also available on the "Hits" promo CD, which is very hard to find. "Essential" contains the non-U.S. 45 version. I can't speak to the other CD you referenced. |

This is correct. "Playlist" is the ONLY commercial CD where you can find the Single Remix of Bad Boy, which was also the single version around the world. That other remix from 1992 was made for the 1992 Greatest Hits album. There are two music videos for the song: the first, and best, one takes place at the beach but sadly it features the Album Version; the second one features the Single Remix and the cast of Cats (!). |

| Wow, I don't have that rare version. Nor have I ever seen it. But I'd love to. Has it appeared on any DVD release? Is it on YouTube? I always saw the cats version on VH1/MTV. Did they play this beach version at the very beginning? |

The full video used to be in YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH0dxl6yQJQ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH0dxl6yQJQ But f****n' Sony took it down... and that just happened very recently. VEVO then uploaded the video, but only the first two minutes! WTF? It's too bad because the video is very funny. OOH! Not everything is lost... it's still in Daily Motion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ux5y_miami-sound-machine-bad-boys_music#.UazLcNzV98E - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ux5y_miami-sound-machine- bad-boys_music#.UazLcNzV98E And here's the VEVO version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-TfKHKbNys - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-TfKHKbNys |

| Wow, I'd never seen that original video before, only the more played one. And you're right, it is funny. Too bad there hasn't been a Gloria Estefan DVD release with all her music videos, including this one. (I think I have a VHS release from years ago, but it didn't have this.) |

OK, so this "Bad Boy" remix situation got very complicated - at least as far as I can tell. There's a Shep Pettibone 7" remix, which I believe is what is referred to above as the worldwide single mix - from 1986 or 87. If I understand correctly, this is on the rare Promo CD "Hits" as well as "Essential". There's a Pablo Flores 7" remix, which is referred to above as the "other remix from 1992 that was made for the 1992 Greatest Hits album". (First bit of confusion: I have the '92 GH CD and "Bad Boy" isn't even on it.) Here's where things got really confusing for me. There is a 12" Shep Pettibone remix on Japan's "The Best Remixes". And there's a 12" Pablo Flores remix on UK's "Twelve Inch Mixes". But these 2 sound identical to me. So were there 12" mixes by both remixers? And where is the "other" one that's not on these 2 CDs? And if the 2 aforementioned CDs have the same mix, which one is correctly labeled and which is wrong (i.e. is it Flores or Pettibone on both CDs?) |

| As far as the "Greatest Hits" issue, I see there are import CDs that have 2 extra songs: Bad Boy (single remix) & Dr. Beat, so at least that part is cleared up :) I don't believe the US released this 16-song version, though. Just the 14-song version. |

Another question for clarity - the version used in the music video for "Bad Boy" (the one with the "Cats" type of cast) - that's the version I'm most familiar with. (Saw it on VH1 on all the time). That's the US remix, right? The Pablo Flores mix? ... which is on "Playlist" and the Promo "Hits" (although unlabeled) and on the import "Greatest Hits" from 1992. BTW, that CD seems to have 2 covers - a much wider, longer picture of the "GH" cover we're familiar with, and one with her in a white dress and white background, right? And the Shep Pettibone 7" mix is on "Essential" and "Very Best Of"/Europe? Once this is sorted out I'd like to know if both remixers have a 12" version. According to the credits on "Twelve Inch Mixes" and "The Best Remixes", they do - but they sound identical to me. |

The US single version is remixed by Shep Pettibone. It starts with the finger snaps and handclaps (no other drums), and yes, it's the one in the music video with the "cats." The US 12" (also remixed by Shep Pettibone) has an extended version that sounds similar the US single version. The version on Twelve Inch Mixes is the US 12" version. I don't know what's on The Best Remixes. The UK Primitive Love CD from 1985 has a different extended version, which I would assume is what's on the 12" in Europe. Again, I can't confirm for sure, but it's drastically different from the US 12" version. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
