My US CD single 'Bills, Bills, Bills' (Columbia 79175) states album version and a time of 4.16. But the actual runtime is 4.14. According to the db the album run time is 4.15, which is also the time of the UK CD: 'Huge Hits 99' (Warner RADCD 147). This version however, include a intro that is not on the US CD single. Could it be there was a intro on the album version, or was this the case just in this UK version? ------------- OddNor |

| Many of the songs on Writing's On The Wall had short spoken intros before the songs. I can't remember if they were at the end of each track or beginning, but is that what you're referring to? |

| My copy is from RPM Top Hits U.S.A., labeled as a radio edit, runs 3:59 and ends cold. |

Regarding Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills", there are a couple of CDs in the database where the song runs 3:44 and consists of a comment stating: "LP version faded :31 early".
Did we ever determine if there is a difference between the single and album version? If the two are identical, then it would be more accurate for database CDs containing the 3:44 length to have the comment revised as: "faded :31 early". But if there is a difference between the single and album, then it would be helpful to database subscribers to have "45 version" and "LP version" comments listed next to database CDs where appropriate. |

Decided to recreate the 3:59 DJ edit. It's one easy
edit. Keep 0:00.00 to 1:09.481 Remove 1:09.481 to 1:24.500 Keep 1:24.500 to the end Resulting file runs 3:59 and ends cold. **Corrected for earlier mistype of numbers. |

This appeared on #1's the greatest hits album by Destiny Child. The only official radio edit is the 3:59. Otherwise the listing is correct, it is an album edit, faded :31 early as the database says. |
