my commercial 45 issued as harvest 5195 states on the label "remixed by david kershenbaum" and lists a run time as 4:11 but actually runs 4:03 and is identical to the cd version listed below.

(S) (4:03) Rhino 78239 Like, Omigod! The '80$ Pop Culture Box (Totally) (45 version)

The actual running time of my American pressing "Rio" LP is "5:17" (Capitol AT-12211, the listed time "5:14")
There are 2 CD entries on the Database as (remix).

(5:14) EMI-Capitol Entertainment Properties 93922 Essential (remix)
(5:10) EMI 65633 Rio (deluxe edition) (remix)

I presume that the above 2 CDs are "US LP version. Because the running time is about the same as the 5:17 US LP version. The vocal "Darken the city nights" on the US LP version starts at 1:28.

Interestingly, my 45 of this was on the purple Capitol label instead of Harvest. (the charting issue with the long version on it).

This song charted right about the time EMI discontinued the Harvest label and rolled the songs onto Capitol. "She Blinded Me With Science" was another one where early singles were on Harvest and later pressings on Capitol.

I have scans!

Girls On Film promo 45
Planet Earth commercial 45
Original non-hit mix for Hungry Like The Wolf with B-side
Hit mix on Harvest and Capitol

Not to veer too far off-topic, but there were 3 permutations of the US "Science" 45: the Harvest label, the purple label, and the rainbow label

And a UK picture sleeve

I was able to get the "Harvest" label LP of "Rio".
The actual running times of three hit songs on the "harvest" LP are just the same as the "Capitol" release LP.

It was not until later, when the cd era arrived, the short one on the greatest hits cd became the norm.

Now that short version was just the LP edit wasn't it? The original single had a more cleaner less reverberated mix on it. And the edit at 2:20 included all three of Simon's "Hungry..." whispers. Where did that mix originate from?

Wait - I figured it out I think. That's the 4:11 version isn't it? It was a dryer mix right?

A few more technical observations regarding Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf"...

1) There are several database CDs where the song has the comment: "UK LP version". But since it's been established that this version also appeared on early U.S. LP pressings, perhaps it would be more accurate to re-work the comment to read something like: "UK LP version, which also appeared on early U.S. vinyl LP pressings".

2) All 4:03 45 version appearances of "Hungry Like the Wolf" on CD currently have a "45 version" comment. Since there are two hit 45 version pressings with run times of 4:03 and 5:14, respectively, I would submit that database CDs containing the 4:03 45 version should have a revised comment of: "short 45 version".

3) As Abagon pointed out previously, there are two database CD appearances of "Hungry Like the Wolf" running 5:10 and 5:14 that have a "remix" comment. Can anyone confirm if these discs actually contain the long 45 version, which also appeared on later pressings of the U.S. vinyl LP?

I noticed that no one ever responded to the last question in the above post, but if you're looking for the long (Night) version of "Hungry Like The Wolf" it can also be found on the 2CD Limited Collector's Edition of Rio, which I believe was an import only released in 2009. Not only does the CD sound really good, but it also has all the UK and US LP song versions, all the Night Versions, as well as most of the relevant remixes. It is only missing some of the single edits.
