FLAC Mariah Carey - Love Takes Time US Promo CD CSK 73455

I think the copies that does not have Love Takes Time mentioned all have this version. The ones that do mention, have the version that plays out the whistle note clearly.

 

thank you

 

From my memory back in 1990, the gold title Love Takes Time was the standard album version (the one with the weaker whistle note at the end of the bridge and stronger snares; let's call this version #1). The gold title version had no 'Love Takes Time' on the back sleeve and was the original mix Mariah and Walter made all in three days (I read this in a book about Mariah back in the 90s). Most European later releases still used that gold title back then in the early days, even with 'Love Takes Time' printed on the back sleeve with version #1. As you mentioned the LP you have with the gold text has the longer whistle note, what country was this LP made in? Does it have 'Love Takes Time' printed on the back sleeve?

Then the video came out in mid to late 1990 and I heard the one with the stronger whistle note. The snares are slightly weaker in this mix (let's call this version #2). Back then I wanted version #2 so badly, while all the album versions I could find on cassette tape were version #1.

Then I saw the later re-issue American CD with the white title and 'Love Takes Time' printed on the back sleeve had version #2 that I wanted so badly. I believe this is the actual remix, but somehow the promo CD carries the old version with the weaker whistle. I believe version #2 is the newer mix they redid for single promotion, while single releases still used version #1.

I have both American editions of the album: the gold title with version #1 without 'Love Takes Time' on the back sleeve (this is the digipak CD), and I have the later reissue of the album with the white title containing version #2 and with 'Love Takes Time' on the back sleeve.

This is how I experienced it back in 1990-1994 (the year I got the US edition with the white title).
