Thanks for the info. The search really does never end. I
just shot out an email to Carl Magnus Palm for his take
on the veracity of the youtube version. If (and when) he
gets back to me will have this mystery solved! I know
that several Abba tracks featured cold ends for TV
appearances and maybe the youtube version is just one of
those but not an official release.

For what it's worth, the video was not taken from vinyl. Also, despite the lower sound quality, the ending sounds tacked on from another source. It's well done, but the sound quality changes slightly. That doesn't necessarily prove this isn't an official US promo edit, but I can say with 99% confidence this is not a vinyl dub.

I've just heard back from CMP who directed me to the
abbaomnibus (which is, apparently, the definitive
resource). When I hear back I'll post-thanks, Aaron, for
your analysis.

My promo 45 matches yours, Steve. That purported YouTube label scan is almost certainly a Photoshopped label mock-up. I've never seen Atlantic tack a "(B)" suffix onto an existing matrix number like that clip's supposed label indicates. Atlantic simply would have assigned it a different matrix number.

Bumping an old thread because I was finally able to
locate a video on youtube with the actual US 7" of Gimme,
Gimme, Gimme. (since the cold end one is obvs. NOT an
official edit) I tried and tried to make the edit, but
I'm not sure if it can be done-the first part is easy
enough, you just remove the first half of the
instrumental opening, it's the second half that seem more
tricky-you have to remove the first half of the
instrumental break starting at 2:52 of the album
version), but it doesn't seem to want to line up with the
videos on youtube (it doesn't help that both of them have
really muddy sound). Has anyone who has the vinyl with
the edit tried to make the edit from the album-can it be
done?

Check your PM. Thanks!
Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."
