Not sure what you mean by that, there have been plenty of singles/radio edits with cold intros, including some that the cold intro only exists on promo
copies. Not sure why the vocals were left off the LP version of the song, to this day that version doesn't sound right to me.

During the song's chart run I heard the 45 version on most CHRs, AOR stations played the LP. As years went by the LP version prevailed, probably because
it was easier to obtain/was included in gold libraries (ie-GoldDiscs, etc.).

I don't know in how many other countries the US 45 version
of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was issued. I have the
Spanish 45 and it's the LP version.]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2021 09:16:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=59268&title=pat-benatar-single-versions-on-cd#59268 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=59266&title=pat-benatar-single-versions-on-cd#59266 Author: Pat Downey

I can report that I have found a domestic cd with the 45
version of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". It is on a My
Music TJ Lubinsky cd titled "The '80s Volume 1".]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2021 08:30:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=59266&title=pat-benatar-single-versions-on-cd#59266 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=57873&title=pat-benatar-single-versions-on-cd#57873 Author: VWestlife

The version of "We Belong" on CEMA Special Products'
budget disc of Blondie/Pat Benetar "Back To Back Hits" is
the one with Pat vocalizing over the introduction. All
the other CDs I have it on have a clean intro with no
vocals. Would this be the single mix?]]> Sun, 22 Mar 2020 19:41:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=53790&title=pat-benatar-single-versions-on-cd#53790 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1151&PID=53767&title=pat-benatar-single-versions-on-cd#53767 Author: NightAire

I don't feel like "Treat Me Right" was ever settled.

Is the original 7" 45 RPM record a remix or an early fade of the LP mix?

IF the correct single version is a remix, is it only available on 2005's "Greatest Hits?"

I'm not sure if the Deadpool 2 CD matches streaming services, but "We Belong - Single Version" from Deadpool 2 on Spotify, etc. plays the album version.

Now that this thread has come back up I always meant to ask if the LP version and 45 single version of "Looking For A Stranger" are one in the same? The song is not in the database so just wanted to confirm this info.
