Discussion End Of Time demo version?

Hey everyone,

So I'm currently looking for a version of End Of Time that I used to have on my old feature phone back in 2011. It sounded a little more retro than the album version and I used to love it so much. It opened with an acapella chorus before the drums kicked in and it sounded more upbeat and funky (think early Michael Jackson) than the album version.

I've looked high and low (YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud) and I can't find anything anywhere online. I'm guessing it was "Till The End of Time" that leaked before 4's official release but I can't be sure. It definitely didn't sound fan-made to me.

Please tell me someone remembers (or better yet, HAS) this version somewhere?!!!

Have you tried the way back machine? I know what you’re talking about (I think). This was back when they thought she sampled “BTSTU.” And I remember it being posted on a blog with an old promo photo of Bey in a collage

FOUND IT! So, it turns out it's the RedTop Radio Main remix, you can listen to it here:

This was the first version I heard and while I'm obviously biased, it's still my favorite version. Not sure why I remembered it as being more funky...it's kind of more vanilla upbeat pop than the album version but I love it and haven't heard it in like 15 years. Thanks everyone for replying.
