Def Leppard - Rocket

Does anyone know how the 45 version to Def Leppard's "Rocket" sounds? I am only familiar with the long LP version and the "video remix" on Vault. Was the 45 an edit of either of these?

Here are my latest findings for this song. The only 45 I have for this is a promo, and it has the same "Lunar Mix" on both sides, with a listed time of (4:17), but an actual time of (4:25). We were also sent a 3-track UK CD single for this (LEPCD 6) to the station, and while there are no timings/notations given as to which version of "Rocket" is featured as cut 1 (tracks 2 & 3 are different songs), it turns out that this CD's version is also the actual (4:25) "Lunar Mix." My brand new Whitburn Pop Annual states the commercial 45 time is (4:17), like my promo 45 also says. Could someone owning a commercial 45 possibly confirm for me that the actual running time for that is also actually (4:25) as well, and not (4:17)?

What is the differene between the "Lunar Mix" & the "video remix"?

No, I only have the (4:25) version on The A-List; I don't have the full Hysteria LP anymore.

I'm wondering on this one, too. As I remember, the version we played at the top 40 I worked at in 1989 was simply an edit (early fade?) of the LP version.

EDIT: The version we played also chopped off the LP opening.

EDIT 2: It also chopped out the middle section, rather than being an early fade. I think the short version we played ended cold.

Was the Lunar Mix actually a "mix," or just a designation from the record label to make it look like something special?

FWIW, our station later changed to the LP version, which I thought was MUCH better... and also made for an easier run down the hall to the bathroom. :-)
