By 1993, Country had completely taken over as my family's music of choice, which would last for the next few years. Exposure to absolutely anything else would have come in select or random doses (for example: Joey Lawrence's "Nothin' My Love Can't Fix", the video of which we saw when it premiered on Blossom and the cassingle of which I still have).
Robin S. I remember hearing clips of in ads for dance compilations years later, the full song not until it would have come on 90s lunch hours during the 2000s - and even those are lost to time by now as far as remembering them outside of if I might have heard a given song for the first time that way.

How old were you in '93? You didn't have your own radio so you could listen to what you yourself liked? |

I remember getting a heavy dose of pop music at that age, even going back to my toddler years. Good stuff. I remember a lot of songs, and got reacquainted with others when I started hearing the AT40 shows again. |

Helped to have an 6-year-older brother, and also helped that it was 1964, with all that THAT year brought! Distinctly remember receiving my very first transistor radio upon my 8th birthday in 1966, and what a magical gift it was. It was blue, about five inches square, and had a strap so it could be put around my bike's handlebars for the journeys to and from second grade! It also came with an earplug for post-bedtime listening. Perfect. |

I also wasn't as heavily invested in what kinds of music I liked or hated, or even in following the charts at all until starting about midway through 1999.

And now for a more subtle entry compared to what would usually stand out here. En Vogue's "Love Don't Love You" in 1993 had a standard-issue single version played on AT40 - the rub is trying to find it these days. See, this is the song as it appears on Funky Divas: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLExBnboD40 Note the jazz sound that it leans on. Now, this is the song as it was heard on AT40 (I'm guessing it's the one they always used, I can only vouch for 4/17 and 5/15 for sure): www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0jCxM81A1E This leans on a more straightforward contemporary sound (I.E. no jazz) but otherwise sounds the same. The single releases on Discogs that list the "LP version" with a running time of 3:54 have to be referring to the second clip; the album version runs 3:59. |

I have the second version (the one used on AT40) in my music collection, but I don't remember where I got it from. |

And now for a case of duality - which will make sense once I explain what's up. And a question for Shadoe Fan - this concerns Breathe's "Say a Prayer" from September/October 1990. I have 10/13/90, which has this single remix of the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi-4KkyWg8UOn 4/8/2000, it's a LDD, and they end up playing the album version of the song, as heard here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgR8rUC2hDsQuestion - did Shadoe ever play the album version, or was it the single version for the whole run? |

Here's the latest entry in the category of these where they flipped back and forth between two (or more) versions, and the latest entry for one Janet Jackson. This time, "Because of Love", from 1994. On both 2/26 and 5/14, at least, they played the Frankie & David 7" version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHcwL7v3YpQ Frankie & David, by the way, are DJs Frankie Knuckles and David Morales. On both 3/5 and 4/9, at least, they played the album version of the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Yi9ywVTlAETA: 5/21 also has the album version. |

I'd never heard the version of Smooth Operator which played in this week's '85 show It must be the album version. I have a white label 45 with the single version on one side, and the other side that has a longer version with Sade on a bit of spoken word which we heard on this week's show. |

Was 4/28/1984 the only time they played the album version of The Reflex?
