This is one of many "banned" edits that their performers
just won't allow,same with so many others.Just wish that
the owners would release it.I still like both album and
singles of all BTO songs, don't get me wrong, but I'm just
a completist..:)

Not sure what you mean by "banned edits the performers won't allow". Are you referring to the 3:13 promo edit?
Most promo edits, regardless of artist were never intended to be made available to the public in the first place, simply a method to make a
song more attractive to radio, whether for length, language, maybe a hotter mix.

Nowadays, Sirius, iHeart and other companies play the LP
versions pretty much for the older songs as it's what the
public is used to as they stream those songs.
There are still radio edits for current and recent songs,
offered through subscription services like Promo Only.
I have always preferred the single/45 versions and radio
edits for the older songs. After all, isn't that why we are
here on this forum to discover where to find them? :)

I was being facetious,I mean the groups never allow the
singles edits... the hit single edit did exist
originally, in spring 1974.

The commercial 45 was the same length as the LP.
DJ promos contained the LP version and the 3:13 edit.
