The book indicates "LP Version" next to all instances of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians "What I Am." Copies of the cassette single have the LP Version, so I am wondering if the 3:39 "edit" was only on promo 45s, or if they used this for the commercial 45, too.

Whitburn lists the running time as 4:54 so the 3:39 edit must be a promo only edit.

This, of course, means that you should remove the comment "LP Version" next to these instances in the book :)

Can anyone describe the DJ edit? Or if anyone can send a dub, I volunteer to
do a clinical A/B report. |

"Dr. Eric", I will shoot the promo CD single over to your "clinic" no later than tomorrow night, so prepare the operating room!

I never realized how simple the song structure was - one verse, one chorus and repeat!
Here are the edits I found. All times reference the original LP version. Start at 0:00. 1 - Cut from 0:11 to 0:21. (Removing first "I'm not aware...") 2 - Cut from 1:53 to 2:04. (Cut at "-fore")* 3 - Cut from 2:31 to 2:42 (Cut 4 bars between chorus and guitar solo) 4 - Cut from 2:55 to 3:06 (Cut on downbeat after held note) 5 - Cut from 3:34 to 3:45 (Cut between beats 2 and 3) Start fade at 3:25 of edit, until 3:43. * Note - since most of the cuts remove one or more repeated lines (e.g. "Shove me in..."), the exact location of some cuts are hard to discern, even watching the waveforms carefully. |

This probably interests no-one but me, but the edit was used in Canada for the commercial 45.

Paul's right. Warner/Geffen were in a habit in the late '80s of using the promo-edits on commercial 45s in Canada - but not on every title. Cases in point: Guns N Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" was released with a 3:57 edit on the Canadian 45, but the group's "Patience" and "Paradise City" were released in their full 5:53 and 6:46 versions respectively, despite the fact edits on those songs were available. Go figure... |

Torcan, I've never seen edits of these songs anywhere. I seem to recall the US promo 45s also having the full LP versions on them. Do you know where these edits are available? |

Well...maybe I mis-spoke. Fred Bronson mentions in the "Billboard Book of No. 1 Hits" that the band wasn't happy with the edits on those songs, and that was during the time that they were still releasing promos on vinyl. "Sweet Child o Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" had shorter versions on their promo 45s, and those other songs weren't too long after that. Maybe I should throw the question out to the group: were the edits of "Patience" and "Paradise City" on CD-promo only? |
