The file mjb50 has from my collection is close to 20 years old, so I can't say for sure what the source is. I think, however, I edited the existing CD version to match and then added the missing fade out from TM Century's copy. (Back then, I didn't have nearly as good of a setup, nor the skills, to do my own vinyl transfers and cleanups.) I should probably work on a new file at some point.
Earlier in the thread, I mentioned I had found a copy of the 45 with a 3:46 printed time, and I made a dub to my hard drive. That dub runs exactly 4:17.8 and ends about one second sooner than the YouTube 45 dub.

I dug up two more stock copies from my collection. Both are pressed on vinyl and both have RE in the matrix (both label and deadwax). I also found a test pressing on styrene, which just has the artist and title handwritten on a white label. This also has RE in the deadwax. Finally, I have a promo pressed on vinyl, and again, there's RE in both the deadwax and on the label.

This is an extremely interesting and complicated thread. Unfortunately, I can't help with any sources worth mentioning.
I looked at a few of my euro collections from the period and found hardly a mention of this particular song. I'm guessing that it wasn't much of a "Hit" overseas at the time?
I do remember the song though as being a fav on the Pop and A/C stations here.

Ah, OK. That explains what I was seeing in the spectrogram. There is indeed a different source for the tail end. Still, you did a great job making it seamless.
Nowadays when I do my own edits, I am sure to tag & name it such that it's clear that it's a fan reconstruction. I see Ron does this on some of his edits, even summarizing the sources and specific edits. 20 years ago, I probably wouldn't have bothered, but I've learned since then that I'm far more prone to making mistakes than I like to think. I can be so confident that I've nailed it (whatever "it" is), and then several years later I take another listen, and can't believe what I missed. Or I just wonder where the heck the edit came from. Oh well... at least it's a labor of love.

The YouTuber that posted the version running 3:32, says it's a radio edit. I would tend to agree that this is just an early fade of the single version.

Folks! So I have an update for you regarding this version that I found on YouTube about a week ago. I'll save everyone the trouble to find my original post and give you the link again.

In the comments, the YouTuber told me where he got this version from. By the way, my YouTube channel (1 of 3) is Kiss Fan Mac (don't ask, lol :P).
It's a 3 CD compilation called: 80's Top Killers Vol. 2 (kind of a weird title).It was released in March of 2010 by Sony.The UPC is:1229677296, from what I saw from another website. Unfortunately, discogs has no listing for it but anyone can double check just to make sure. I googled the title and found a link to the 3 CD set, but there are no running times on it. This is the link to it:
https://dlalejdis.pl/artykuly/80_s_top_killers_vol2
I think this was made in Poland. I've got some stuff to do tonight so I only went through a few results and seeing things about serial killers. If anyone has time to search this a little more, please do. Oh and sorry, I dont know how to highlight links on here. I'm foreign when it comes to forum stuff.
