O/T: Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up

   Just a quick note for anybody wanting to recreate the commercial single, it appears to be an early fade of the LP version.

I'm not clear, however, if this "Special Edit" was the promo most radio stations played, or if stations that picked it up played the early fade.

	I do remember hearing the song on the radio. It got to #44. No idea if it was the promo edit or regular single. The US promo Special Edit inserts a copy of the 2nd chorus (2:18 to 2:37) at 0:46. And it fades early like the regular single. This makes it run about 4:22, I reckon. The printed 4:09 is wrong, in any case. There's a rip on YouTube but it's 4:20 because it cuts off the fade too soon. I can't find a complete rip of the retail 45, either. It's just an early fade, but every digitization I've found truncates the fadeout. The UK 45 says 4:06 but I think runs more like 4:08. The US 45 says 3:55 but I think runs more like 4:03 or 4:04. Anyone have it to say for sure? Edited by mjb50

	My dub of the 45 runs 4:06.
