I can't friggin' believe it. That was a total guess. The only reason I thought that was the case was this.

When I bought the 45-rpm disc at Melody Lane in Hamilton, Ontario (this was 1986), there was a girl behind the counter. I thought it was uncanny that she also had a copy of the 45 on her turntable. Now she had the instrumental side on (which I didn't realize at the time). The instrumental had those cymbals on the beginning, and it just seemed to sound more "complete" than I had ever heard on the radio before.

So I get my 45 home, dropped the cue lever, and I remembered it sounding truncated comapred to what I just heard. Of course I was listening to the A-side. I had never critically thought about it again until you asked that question. In fact, I never paid attention to the LP version much at all, except I knew it had the instrumental ending.

That was cool. It shows the weird things one can lock into their memory sometimes....lol.

Wow, great recollection! Thank you for the answer, Jody!

CORRECT!

The 45 doesn't have the cymbal sounds at very beginning (from :00.000 to :00.170.). Therefore, this tune doesn't have "length" designation, but has "version."

Besides the fact that the 45-rpm fades during the last chorus? I think the LP has three light cymbal sounds strung together very rapidly on the very beginning, prior to the downbeat. I don't have the two records in front me so I'm guessing.

Human League - "Human"

QUIZ: Where is the different point?
The database currently indicates the "length" designations for the CD entries. I found out one difference between the U.S. commercial 45 (A&M 2861) and the U.S. LP "Crash" (A&M SP-5129).

Answer, please. You will be surprised when you've found it. Listen carefully from the very start!
