Madonna-"Like A Prayer"

My promo CD single for this song (PRO-CD-3448) has 5 cuts. My latest Whitburn book lists (5:19) as this song's timing, so perhaps cut 3 of this promo CD single was also the commercial 45 version:

1-(On the CD itself, this version is described as "7" Version With Fade", but on the jewel case insert, it simply says "7" Version") (listed 5:06; actual 5:04)
2-(7" Remix/Edit) (listed & actual 5:41)
3-(7" Dance Edit) (listed 5:19; actual 5:21)
4-(12" Dance Mix) (listed 7:50; actual 7:52)
5-(12" Club Version) (listed & actual 6:35)

Hi guys! Track 2 on the promo CD (7" Remix/Edit) was the B side of the promo only US 7" single. Track 3 wasn't released on any other format. It does have very similar running time as the 7" version.

You can find the 45 version without fade on the commercial US 3" CD single or selected pressings of the original Japan 3" CD single (some contained an early fade of the album version).

Yeah, there was a commercial CD3 issued in the US that had the 7" Version. The only other place it's been issued on CD (to my knowlege) is the Canadian 2-disc comp "Time 100: The Music of Our Lives, Vol. 2."

The 7" Remix/Edit was issued on the Japanese "Remixed Prayers" EP. The 7" Dance Edit is exclusive to the promo.

does the usa promo cd single actually contain the 7" version from the vinyl 45?....because jim's description above would lead one to believe not....

This is the domestic (US) 3" CD featuring the correct single mix.

There are 3" releases from other countries, the UK/German release features the same 7" Version With Fade found on the US promo CD.

As previously mentioned, the Japanese 3" release can feature either the full, correct 7" version or an unlisted version that is the LP Version with an early fade. The latter is also found on the 1997 Madonna 3" CD Single Collection box set from Japan.
