I have heard a different version of this on the radio. Does the 45 have a different mix than the album version?

Yes, The US single has real drums overdubbed on the first half of the record (as well as two edit points).

While the 45 and LP versions are different, there is also a "Remix" that was issued in the early 90s. The remix is quite different than the LP & 45 version, while the 45 version sounds very much like the LP with the overdubs mentioned above.

Yes, I have the remix version. I believe it was realsed on CD much later. Was there an edited version of this remix as well? Thanks for the update on the 45 version, now I have to get the 45. Was it realsed on CD anywhere?

You can find the 45 of "In The Air Tonight" on the Atlantic Records 50 Years: The Gold Anniversary CD.

For whatever it's worth, there was also a single remix released in England (and appears on the Now that's what I call music volume 12, UK edition) in 1988, which wasn't the club mix that came out officially as a CD5 in 1997.

my commercial 45 issued as atlantic 3824 does not state a version on the label but does state a run time of 4:59, but actually runs 4:57.....and is identical to the cd version listed below


(S) (4:57) Atlantic 83088 Atlantic Records: 50 Years - The Gold Anniversary Collection (45 version)

The enduring popularity of this song escapes me. It barely made the top 20 back in '81, yet nearly 30 years later you still hear it all the time.
Granted, I never particularly liked it, but you seem to hear it more today than you did when it was current.

That's what an association with a hit TV show will do for you (the original promo spots for Miami Vice used the drum transition and ending chorus very effectively).

I'm trying to decipher the '88 remix versions and Discogs and YouTube and Wikipedia aren't matching my memory.

I would have sworn there was a radio edit of the remix by Ben Liebrand that I heard on Dallas Top 40 radio around '88 - '89 (on KISS-FM, maybe, or Power 95 / Y-95?).

I find listed on the internet two versions: a 5:07 remix by Phil Collins which is missing many of the elements from the Liebrand mix, and the Liebrand mix, which runs about 7:37.

I can't seem to find an edit, and Discogs doesn't even list a promo for radio in the U.S.

Does anybody remember hearing a remix more closely matching the Liebrand mix, edited down, being played on the radio?

(I need to dig through my old cassettes and see if I recorded a station playing it..)
