I've not come across it. There are a couple of overseas CDs with roughly the right length (3.44) quoted, but as that's the actual length of the 45 version, it doesn't allow any leeway for silence at the end of the track.

I fear they may be simply early fades of the LP version, which the 45 wasn't. There was an edit towards the end.

Thanks for the info.Yeh there a few CDs almost matching the single time on MusicBrainz but it could be a gamble getting them as I found out was various CDs over the years.

Yeah we all know that pain, I’ve embarked on my endless pointless search for the 7” of Warning Sign by buying yet another early 90s Nick Heyward \ Haircut 100 compilation (how many are there!). Please assume it’s not the correct version unless there is an unexplained explosion in Hampshire next week!

Yes Warning Sign another one on my list. Even the recent Now Yearbook got the wrong version.Maybe one day we hope.

Does anybody have an explanation as to why the purple CD single of Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) - The Offspring has them singing "come on and do that brand new thing" at the end of the chorus, but the video and album version (at least on Spotify) has "hey hey do that brand new thing", which is MUCH better.

The new Jaki Graham box set out today features the UK single version of Could It Be I'm Falling In Love for the first time on CD (it's marked with an asterisk which denotes this anyway). Does anyone know how it differs from the LP version?

Another single edit question.Does anyone know the correct lenght of the U.K.single edit of Chicago's Hard Habit To Break.

I've just double checked this. The 45 isn't really an edit at all. It's just an early fade of the 4.45 album version.
It loses about 10 seconds of vocal at the end, after that it's just instrumental anyway.

Yes, that's about the only option, but 6 seconds too long. You'd still have to chop a bit off the end and create a new fade to match the actual 45, so it doesn't really further the cause a great deal.

Yes I agree it not an exact match to the single version.Another single version not on cd to add to the list.

Those are the two edits I have as well.

3.21 on NOW 1985 10th Anniversary
3.45 on HITS: The 80s

As most of the edits on those 10th NOWs seem to be unique and tailored to those comps alone, I'm tempted to think 3.45 is the "correct" length.
