The actual play time is 5.04 on Entertainment Weekly according to the US website I subscribe too.
Several 5.03/5.04 versions on US CDs, but all short of both the US and UK 45s.

So it is definitely not on cd at all.So we can add this with Would I Lie To You to Eurythmics songs not on cd in correct single form.

I don't know why but I always thought Girls Aloud single remixes were usually inferior to the album versions.

I'm sure the US edit of I Can't Help It had a different intro as well.

The single version/mix (respectively) of “Ego” and “Not Giving Up” by The Saturdays are both longer than their album mixes.

Has the actual 7" of Here Comes The Rain by Eurythmics ever been on CD (or digital?). It's longer than the album mix (5.09 to 4.54, ish) and I was sure I had it. But it's not on Greatest Hits, Ultimate Collection, the digital EPs with radio/single mixes of Touch material, or even on NOW 2.

It's on the US edition of Greatest Hits from Arista:

It seems the European release opted for album versions with early fades whereas the US release contained mostly 7" versions.

What is the cheapest way to get hold of David Bowie's single version of 'Never Let Me Down' from 1987?

The Loving The Alien boxset is out of the question as is the Japanese CD single.

Can anyone confirm that the correct mix is included on the USA/Canada version of Bowie The Singles Collection?

I don't really like the song so I might resort to buying it digitally if all other options are expensive.

I'd have recommended the digital EP but it's almost twice the price it was when I bought it...£4.79 compared to £2.49 back in the day. The 7" mix on its own is £1.89, which is a lot for a song you don't much care for.

Aside from the EP and the LTA boxset, I don't know where else it's been released. It's much inferior to the album version, too.

@Deborah X It's £3.99 on 7 Digital if that's any good for you, £1.59 a track separately.
