I guess it was ready in time, and the band decided it would make a better single, especially in the USA...and they were right!

Hello friends how are you? I tell you that for some time
I have been trying to trace the origin of a version I
have of "King For A Day", with a duration of 4:17, being
different from the known version of 45.

I found the version I'm talking about on YouTube, labeled
as single edition, is this correct?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KohjXB4Pe0g

I was looking for all the compilations and CDs released
by Thomson Twins, without success, could it be the 45 UK
version?


Any members who can shed light on this?

I just did the A/B, and this appears to be the 45 Version as well.]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2005 11:32:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1271&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1271 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1270&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1270 Author: aaronk

Thanks, edtop40. I purchased the track on iTunes...it's the version from the "Gold & Platinum" CD I mentioned above. This also appears to be the 45 Version. I haven't A/B'd it with my dub of the 45 yet, but if it's the right version, I'll order the actual CD.]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2005 11:26:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1270&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1270 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1269&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1269 Author: edtop40

Yeah, I noticed that in Pat's book. The only problem is that it's impossible to find the Time Life cd. Any others? Or, is it possible to edit the LP Version to make the 45? I don't have the LP Version either, only a dub of the 45.]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2005 10:29:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1261&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1261 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1260&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1260 Author: edtop40

Does anyone know where I can find the 45 version of "King For A Day" on CD? I've seen a listing for it on the Thompson Twins "Gold & Platinum Collection" CD; however, some listings show the song as "Single Version" and some show it as "UK Mix."]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2005 03:31:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PID=1256&title=thompson-twins-king-for-a-day#1256
