In the past I used to own the album "Synapse Gap (Mundo Total)" by Joe "King" Carrasco And The Crowns featuring vocals by Michael Jackson on track 3 "Don't Let A Woman (Make A Fool Out Of You)". ( https://www.discogs.com/master/305010-Joe-King-Carrasco-And-The-Crowns-Synapse-Gap-Mundo-Total )
Warning: I know that there mixes/versions of the song where MJ is not heard at all, I am NOT talking about these mixes, only mix(es) including MJ.
Somebody who I showed what I thought was the original album mix using a YouTube link told me that that version were fan-edited. *
I was convinced that I had an old rip of the album of that other album version... but I actually don't find it back... so maybe I had not saved it in archives.
Finally, I ripped the new copy I of the album that I now own ... the label says 3:49 ... but the track is actually ~3:30, not 3:49, same as "7'' mix", same as the the mix I find every. (Then this leads me to wonder if there was some track exchange on some copies of the album without changing the labels.)
I started thinking that my brain made up a memory a version "where Michael is clearly heard singing the choruses" because of the YouTube mixes?
On the other hand, this memory is so strong, I can even remember hesitating to sort it in "Vocals" or "Duets" (yeah I know it's "Vocals")
So:
* This version where Michael's voice can be heard singing the choruses, is it fake?

- In my memories, Michael could be clearly heard singing the choruses.
- Recently I bought the band's "Anthology" CD which has that song. Surprise: I found MJ's voice buried under the band's singer's voice. (Then I thought that for some reason they had to cover Michael's voice...)
- I randomly bought a 1982 7'' promo of the song, same mix... I started to think that this mix was a specific 7'' mix.
- So I bought a new copy of the 12'' album... and... same mix.

So:
- Are there different mixes involving Michael?
- Are those YouTube versions fan-edited? *
- If not, how to identify a record with that other mix (the mix where MJ is clearly heard solo-ing the choruses) ?
* This version where Michael's voice can be heard singing the choruses, is it fake?
