I have heard a different version of this on the radio. Does the 45 have a different mix than the album version?

Yes, The US single has real drums overdubbed on the first half of the record (as well as two edit points).

While the 45 and LP versions are different, there is also a "Remix" that was issued in the early 90s. The remix is quite different than the LP & 45 version, while the 45 version sounds very much like the LP with the overdubs mentioned above.

Yes, I have the remix version. I believe it was realsed on CD much later. Was there an edited version of this remix as well? Thanks for the update on the 45 version, now I have to get the 45. Was it realsed on CD anywhere?

You can find the 45 of "In The Air Tonight" on the Atlantic Records 50 Years: The Gold Anniversary CD.

For whatever it's worth, there was also a single remix released in England (and appears on the Now that's what I call music volume 12, UK edition) in 1988, which wasn't the club mix that came out officially as a CD5 in 1997.

my commercial 45 issued as atlantic 3824 does not state a version on the label but does state a run time of 4:59, but actually runs 4:57.....and is identical to the cd version listed below
(S) (4:57) Atlantic 83088 Atlantic Records: 50 Years - The Gold Anniversary Collection (45 version)

The enduring popularity of this song escapes me. It barely made the top 20 back in '81, yet nearly 30 years later you still hear it all the time.
Granted, I never particularly liked it, but you seem to hear it more today than you did when it was current.

That's what an association with a hit TV show will do for you (the original promo spots for Miami Vice used the drum transition and ending chorus very effectively).

I'm trying to decipher the '88 remix versions and Discogs and YouTube and Wikipedia aren't matching my memory.
I would have sworn there was a radio edit of the remix by Ben Liebrand that I heard on Dallas Top 40 radio around '88 - '89 (on KISS-FM, maybe, or Power 95 / Y-95?).
I find listed on the internet two versions: a 5:07 remix by Phil Collins which is missing many of the elements from the Liebrand mix, and the Liebrand mix, which runs about 7:37.
I can't seem to find an edit, and Discogs doesn't even list a promo for radio in the U.S.
Does anybody remember hearing a remix more closely matching the Liebrand mix, edited down, being played on the radio?
(I need to dig through my old cassettes and see if I recorded a station playing it..)

Yes. Throughout the 90s up until 2000, the Hot AC station in Philly played the
version you described. An edited version of the Liebrand mix

Gene - As Chuck M noted above (thirteen years ago!), the UK 2-CD compilation Now That's What I Call Music 12 featured a 1988 remix that ran about 5:07.
The 5:07 version was a real UK 45 (Virgin VS 102), titled "In The Air Tonight ('88 Remix)", with "I Missed Again" on the B-side.
Plus, there was a UK CD single that featured this 5:07 mix, plus a 7:34-ish remix that was done by Ben Liebrand.
Hope that helps.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. It confirms what I found on Discogs.
RadioFan16 seemed to reference the mix I was talking about: not the 5:07 '88 mix but an edit of the 7:34 Ben Liebrand mix.
The '88 mix was done by Phill Collins and doesn't have much of the extra production elements of the 7:34 mix added by Ben.
The version I heard has the extra production elements but did not run 7:34. I didn't time it but it seemed regular length... 5 minutes or less?
This edit of the Ben Liebrand remix is what I'm having a difficult time finding. It matches the beginning and end of the 7:34 mix and the 5:07 mix does not.
I don't know if this edit I heard in Dallas (and apparently played in Philly in the 90s) was an official release, a TM Century edit of the 7:34 mix, or an in-house edit.
Since the 5:07 mix doesn't match what I'm looking for and I can't find an edit of the 7:34 mix, I'm guessing stations made their own in-house edit... something I may be doing next.

I recall hearing the Liebrand remix several times in the
late 90s on local radio stations. I cannot remember if
an edited version was played or not, but listening to it
now, I don't remember it being this long on the radio. I
imagine that an in-house edit were played. Does anyone
remember if radio airplay of this remix coincided with
the 1997 CD single release? I guess that Atlantic
decided to go with this remix after the "Dance into the
Light" singles failed to take off in the U.S. Note that
the 1997 CD single mentions the 1996 "Dance into the
Light" album being available.

In listening to the Liebrand mix, I don't recall any stations
here in Erie PA playing that mix. They either played the LP
version or perhaps the 45 version.

JFive, I believe that's the version I heard in Dallas. Thanks for finding this!
