It appears there were two promo CD singles of "Right Here, Right Now." DPRO-05387 has the same tracks as the commercial CD single (Hit Radio Mix, Righteous Radio Mix, 12" Mix). My guess is that this was the one serviced to CHR, while the one reported in the Single/Album Versions thread (DPRO-05376) was issued to rock radio. The latter does not contain the shorter "Hit Radio Mix" without the guitar solo.

I have this track on seven compilations, none of which are eligible for the database. (!)

All appear to be the LP version running around 3:06, and all run at 110.2 BPM. I never noticed any mix differences at the time, when my ear was well-tuned to the song.

FYI - It's on:

• UK's Now That's What I Call Music 17 (1990)
• Hot Hits Pop Vol. 8 (1991)
• Spotlight On Hits Vol. 2 (1991)
• Top Hits USA RH10 (1992)
• Canada's Awesome Hits (1992; PolyTel)
• Big '90s (1996; Razor & Tie)
• UK's 8-CD Greatest Hits Of The '90s (2004; Disky)

Thanks to Aaron, I got to listen to the "Real Pop Mix" from the promo CD single, and I can confirm that it matches all the versions I posted above.

My copy of Top Hits RH10 has the notation of "(Pop Mix)" after the title, for what it's worth.

Big '90s is a differently-EQ'd digital clone of the file Aaron sent, and it's probably the best-sounding of the bunch. The main differences among them were EQ; there's a little compression on the Disky CD and on Spotlight, and there's some odd clipping on the bottom half of the waveform on Top Hits RH10.

What I can't confirm is that all these are the true album version. The Canadian PolyTel CDs have a history of using the LP versions, so I'm around 70% sure it's the true LP version. That's about as far as I can take it without the JJ CD...

Sorry, Andy. There are two different songs being discussed, and the "Real Pop Mix" is for "Real, Real, Real." You are correct about the different versions of "Right Here, Right Now."
