Partners In Kryme - Turtle Power

   My cassette single for this song (SBK 4JM-07325) has no version or time 

listed, but is 3:55 in length.  It also is a different version than what is on the 

soundtrack Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (SBK 91066) from 1990.  The 

intro on the LP version has a tympani roll that the single version does not, 

and the vocal on the single version seems to have been treated with a bit 

more reverb.  In short, the single version is unique, and the LP version can't 

be used to recreate it.  Also, for those fanatics (like me) who like getting the 

title exactly right, the cassette single cover has the title with an exclamation 

point, while the cassette does not.  And on the CD cover, no exclamation 

point, but the lyric booklet has the title as "T-U-R-T-L-E Power". Sheesh!
