My TM Century copy runs 4:07, which makes me wonder if they faded the single version :04 early or if promo CD copies do actually run a little bit shorter. If anyone has details, will you please share?

Aaron, the only promo CD single I own for this song (PRO-CD-3777) includes just one track, the "LP Version". And while the actual time (4:13) of this track does run :05 shorter than its listed time of (4:18), this corrected timing still runs :06 longer than your TM Century version does.

Thanks for the additional info, Jim! I always greatly appreciate it. While we're on the subject, does anyone know what accounts for the :06 difference between the 4:18 LP version and the 4:12/4:13 single version (although every copy of the single labels it "LP version").

Hi People,
Please don't forget that "LP Version" refers to the contemporaneously released LP 'Greatest Hits 1982-1989' and not to the 'Chicago 19' album (the single/Greatest Hits version is a remix of the 'Chicago 19' version). Andy |

As a supplement to the promo CD single info now in the database, commercial single copies of Chicago's "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" have an actual run time of 4:13.
Pat, you might also want to clarify for subscribers that the track listed on the promo CD single as "LP version" is actually the same as the commercial single version. |

The single also has a much shorter fade in/intro (about 3 seconds) compared to the Chicago 19 album version (about 10 seconds). |

Is this a very rare case that the Single version found on the GH 1982-1989 is not on a CD Promo? The LP version and the GH 1982-1989 start entirely different as Dan points out.
It seems odd in 1990 that the go to version of this song can only be found on a GH comp of the time and not on a commercial CD single. Maybe there exists another US CD Promo that just isn't in discogs..... |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

I'm just guessing here since I don't have the actual promo, but I think the lone promo CD Single listed on Discogs (Reprise/Full Moon PRO-CD-3777) with one track labelled as "LP Version" is referring to the song being from the GH 1982-1989 LP, not the original Chicago 19 LP. I noticed that both versions run very close in length, which can confuse the situation even more. |

And I just noticed that there is a notation on the promo that says, "From The Reprise Album, Greatest Hits 1982-1989 (1-26080)".
