Is the version of "Absolute Beginners" on "The Singles 1969-1993" the correct 45 version?

I have the U.S. commercial 45 and "The Singles 1969-1993" CD (but this is released in Japan.) The 45's actual running time is (5:34) with the listed time "5:35" and states the "edited version" on the record label. (EMI America B-8308) "The Singles 1969-1993" CD's actual running time is (5:35). The both are the same edit point and the same speed. The CD length is only the :01 longer than the 45. The version on "The Singles 1969-1993" come to the correct 45 version if the Japan CD is identical to the U.S. CD. --abagon |

How long is the album version if the 5:45 version is the "edit"?. My promo copy has a radio edit that's approx 1 min shorter on one side (I'll check listed time later). |

I've written "The both are the same edit point..." in my last posting as if I have the LP version item. Hence I don't know the LP's actual running time. In fact, I only wanted to express that "The 45 and the CD are the same version." Sorry, Hykker. --abagon |

On my CD copy of the soundtrack (Virgin CDV 2386), "Absolute Beginners" is
listed as 8:03 and runs 8:00. |

There is also a shorter edit running 4:46. It is
included in the EMI America 12" (SPRO 9623) in side A, and the longer version running 8:00 in side B. https://www.discogs.com/es/David-Bowie-Absolute- Beginners/release/1613009 This 4:46 edit is available on the single disc and 2-CD versions of Nothing Has Changed (2014) and the 2- CD version of Bowie Legacy (2016). |
