(OT) Captain/Tennille - Happy Together

A #53 hit in 1980. Liked their version for the most part, even with some of the bizarre sound effects. Just wanted to know if anyone is aware of the Single Version existing anywhere on CD. I did check Discogs, and it doesn't seem to be on too many CD's. It's on the "Scrapbook" and "Icon" compilations, but Discogs doesn't list the running times for those. I have the Album Version on their "Ultimate Collection" and "Make Your Move" CD's, running about 5 1/2 minutes. The 45 apparently runs around 4 1/2 minutes. I don't know if the 45 is extractable from the Album Version, but the few times I've heard it, it sounded to me like a straight edit and no mix differences. Thanks for any information on this.

Just to let you know, 'Happy Together' on the 'Scrapbook'
CD on Spectrum runs 5:28. -Bill.

No, it's never been on CD. Neither has the single mix of
the B-side "Gentle Stranger," which has seagull and
ocean wave sound effects on the intro.

I've been meaning to tackle a single edit of "Happy
Together." I'll try to soon.

I have the black cover. There's no reason to believe
they're not the same CD, though... they have exactly the
same track listing.

Brian, does your copy of "Scrapbook" have the longer Album Versions of those songs? If so, I guess it's possible that two different versions of "Scrapbook" with the mostly black cover exist, if the copy that Scanner had included the Single Edits.
