Hmmm - In Canada, we had a stock 45 that was the radio edit of Pasiion - though I only heard it broadcast on two stations in Canada; CKOC and CFTR.
It reduced the opening piano intro to two measures, and straight into the vocal (about :07 seconds), and faded it off at "Even the President needs Passion - Everyone I know needs some Passion". Cheers, Jody |

Just to revive this thread - the strange Scorpions edit got me thinking of it - did you folks have an edit like this in the US? (Check last post)

There definitely is a short version on the US promo 45 that runs close to 4 1/2 minutes. For sure, it shortens the intro. I can't remember where the fade point is.

I have a 12" promo single with a longer version (7+ min) on one side & the 5:29 version on the other. The long version just continues the chorus after the shorter one fades. I don't know if this was the album version or not.

Hmmm...FWIW, this must be another case of two different Canadian pressings. I have a Canadian copy of this single and it runs 5:29. |

So what accounts for the six-second difference in the US commercial 45 version? Does the 45 run slower or just run longer?

My LP's running time is (5:29), the 45 is longer than the LP. The 45 has more two Rod's "Passion" shouts from 5:30 to 5:35. Although the "Foolish Behaviour" LP which I have is the Japan pressing. Since both the actual running time of the entry album CD on the db and my LP are (5:29). I believe the Japan LP is the same as the U.S. LP.

Wow - I'm surprised by that. I only have a 45 with the album version on a "Back to Back Hits" reissue (let's face it Abagon - add the few seconds, your 45 is basically the album version). And even Torcan, who is on my side of the 49th parallel, remembers a stock 45 like yours. My 45-rpm disc edits from :06 to the vocal post, and then fades where I decribed it in the post above. I am surprised that the US stores did not get that edit in 1981. Edited by Jody Thornton |

I'm surprised they bothered with an edit of that song...even the short version is still a pretty long song. The edit on the intro is very clunky sounding. I don't remember hearing the short version during the song's chart run, though a station I worked at in '83/84 did play it as gold (not realizing it was the edit, I stepped on the vocal big time first time I played it). |
