There is also a shorter edit running 4:46. It is
included in the EMI America 12" (SPRO 9623) in side A,
and the longer version running 8:00 in side B.

Beginners/release/1613009

This 4:46 edit is available on the single disc and 2-CD
versions of Nothing Has Changed (2014) and the 2-
CD version of Bowie Legacy (2016).]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2020 18:06:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5810&PID=55271&title=david-bowie-absolute-beginners#55271 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5810&PID=27372&title=david-bowie-absolute-beginners#27372 Author: PaulEschen

On my CD copy of the soundtrack (Virgin CDV 2386), "Absolute Beginners" is
listed as 8:03 and runs 8:00.]]> Sat, 07 Aug 2010 05:49:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5810&PID=27372&title=david-bowie-absolute-beginners#27372 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5810&PID=27359&title=david-bowie-absolute-beginners#27359 Author: abagon

I have the U.S. commercial 45 and "The Singles 1969-1993" CD (but this is released in Japan.) The 45's actual running time is (5:34) with the listed time "5:35" and states the "edited version" on the record label. (EMI America B-8308) "The Singles 1969-1993" CD's actual running time is (5:35). The both are the same edit point and the same speed. The CD length is only the :01 longer than the 45. The version on "The Singles 1969-1993" come to the correct 45 version if the Japan CD is identical to the U.S. CD. --abagon

I've written "The both are the same edit point..." in my last posting as if I have the LP version item. Hence I don't know the LP's actual running time. In fact, I only wanted to express that "The 45 and the CD are the same version." Sorry, Hykker.

How long is the album version if the 5:45 version is the "edit"?. My promo copy has a radio edit that's approx 1 min shorter on one side (I'll check listed time later).]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:07:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5810&PID=27357&title=david-bowie-absolute-beginners#27357 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5810&PID=27355&title=david-bowie-absolute-beginners#27355 Author: 995wlol
