Thank you for the addition input. That's interesting
that the added note on Discogs about dual versions does
not reflect what your promo 45 has Andy. I wonder if
there were two different promo 45s with the same matrix
number.   I would think the video version was serviced
to major market radio since that was the version on all
chr and rock stations in NY at that time. From my
research, the only known source for the video version is
the import 12" New York Mix.   I'd still like to find
this version on cd if it exists.

What I would believe to be the 'remixed 45 version' of "Heartbreak Beat" is available on the Warner Special Products various artists comp On the Edge from the
year 2000. On that compilation, the track runs 4:05 with outro silence, and is either an edit of the 12" Extended Mix (New York Mix) or a short remix from the same
sessions as the 12" Extended Mix (I have not verified that the short version can be extracted from the long, if you follow.)

thank you for that info! Do you have that compilation?
If the version on the disc matches the official video
found on youtube, its a match.

Hi Rick - I have the comp. I will do a little comparison to the video and report back.

Ugh. Mass confusion ensuing...

Check this out: The version on On the Edge does not match the Video Version exactly, due to some horn overdubs present in the video that are not on the On the Edge version. I kept on digging
though, and found that the version used in the video is a match to the "Single Mix" from the UK 12" Single, as per this Youtube video, as you already
surmised.

Additionally, I found a different video of a U.S. 45 that plays the exact same remix as found on On the Edge. So, it seems to me that the U.S.
remixed 45 version and the Video Version aka "Single Mix" are similar but not identical mixes, so the compilation contains a correct 45 Version, but not specifically the Video Version you're looking for.

Now I am considering the possibility that the UK 45 could match the 12" "Single Mix" from the UK, and if that is the case then if there are compilation appearances of "Heartbreak Beat" that originate in the
UK, they could be the 'Video Version'. Of course, this is complete conjecture on my part.

Oh well - sorry for getting your hopes up, but I definitely learned something about the available mixes of this song today, LOL.

By the way, my promo 45 with both sides
the LP edit says it's mixed by Steve
Thompson & Michael Barbiero. I don't
believe it is - it sounds more like
English producer Chris Kimsey mixed it.

Thompson & Barbiero are both native New
Yorkers which is probably why the remix is
called 'NY Mix'. The remix does sound like
their work.

Pure conjecture on my part; does anyone
else concur?

Andy

That sounds plausible to me. Trying to find the video
version/ny mix edit on cd is challenging because the
remix credits and track length are the same. I'm
curious which version is considered the hit version in
the U.S.

What needs to be edited from the US LP version to create the non-remixed 45?

I didn't do a detailed A/B comparison, but I quickly gave a listen to both my promo 45 and promo 12" single, and there are obvious differences between the two formats. The promo 45 has a label matrix of ZSS 175492 and has the same version on both sides (I played each side to confirm). This version sounds like an edit of the LP mix, which is consistent with what others here have reported. The promo 12" has a label matrix of XSS 175494 on the side labeled "Single Version," and this version is a different mix that sounds like the one appearing on the CD compilation On The Edge.

I have both files of the Single Mix and the 45 Edit which
the 45 Edit is from the On The Edge compilation. I saw it
mentioned in one of the comments before that the
difference is the horns at the front of it in the single
mix.
