Default Promo Albums vs Standard Albums ... Differences

Hi folks,

It just happened that I acquired my first promo album ever. It's an advanced promo of crush for promotional use only.

The thing is that track 4 (Two story Town) has 10 seconds more of intro.https://www.discogs.com/Bon-Jovi-Crush/release/4021165
Yes, I know that in discogs appears to have 5.10min but I can prove that this info is wrongly credited on the website and it actually runs to 5.20.

At the intro you can hear the guys talking and (david i guess) hitting the keyboard as though a cat had just walked over the keys.... then, the countdown starts.

I've also read in hoffman forums (for audiophiles) that sometimes promos have a different mastering that standard albums (usually less compressed which equals better sound ) but I don't feel its the case in this promo crush.

However, and hence this post. Does anyone have a promo album of bon jovi with different arrangements etc.?


Since we are talking about this I am going to mention that I am aware of undiscovered soul having a different tracklist order and different takes or arrangements/intros etc. Also just checking discogs I found there is a bonus track song called 'all that remains' in the shm-cd version of this album in japan I was not aware of. Can't find it on youtube... anyone has heard it?

Edit: OK, I found a link to two story town... its only 5.15 (in the promo album its 5.20) but the intro is there so you get what i mean https://youtu.be/4tozyi9EBP0
