Perhaps to come on a Now yearbook extra extra track?
All Important Single Edits On CD

That's a bit harsh. The yearbooks have been, on the whole, well put together.
Largely recycled content found on countless other CDs as far as I’m concerned. But if You’re happy with them, then that’s fabulous.
They're definitely better than the numbered NOW reissues. Of course they're badly hamstrung by licensing issues, but the tracklistings have some thought put into them and mostly they are very well sequenced.
I'm going to bump this because 1) it's 2025 and 2) I only just spotted this in my iTunes - Someday (I'm Coming Back) by Lisa Stansfield is 5:39 on the CD single, but on The Bodyguard OST which was released earlier and is (kind of) the parent album it runs to 4:58. I don't think the mix is any different, the single just fades out later.
Maybe I should’ve asked here but:
Yes, it's a longer outro on the CD single version. A promo edit of 4:30 exists with a slightly shorter intro and edited in the middle, it has a similar outro as the soundtrack version.
Some cracking versions and mixes of Someday (I’m Coming Back).
Anyone know the difference between album & single versions of the Boomtown Rats’ Rat Trap? Or are there any?
I’m thinking that lyrics might have been changed but can’t really substantiate - my memory on this one is too vague.

This is a messy one.
There's a single version (with different lyrics in the second verse replacing the puss and grime line) which has never been released on CD.
However, French pressings of the 45 were widely circulated in 1978. These carried the LP version.
Only the yellow label UK pressed 45s had the revised lyrics. But they were commercially released and not just for radio.

Thanks Stecov
That makes sense. There’s a YT rip of a 7” which has the puss & grime line & that was confusing me. That must have been the French one
