	Trying to make sense of what's out there. I hope I got this right: Original mix – has loud guitar & bass: • 3:30 7" version, from Gen X "Dancing with Myself" UK 45 (1980) • 4:10 12" version, from Gen X "Dancing with Myself" UK 12" (1980) • 3:46 LP version, from Gen X ''Kiss Me Deadly'' album (1981) Remix – has no tambourine: • 3:20 7" version, from Gen X 4 EP on UK/EU 7" (1981) • 6:05 Extended Version, from Gen X 4 EP on UK/EU 12" (1981) • 4:47 Long Version (edit of the Extended Version), from Billy Idol Don't Stop EP on US 12" (1981) The 3:20 version debuted in the US on a radio promo 45 in 1981, but there was no commercial 45 until 1983. The 1983 US reissue was on 45 only and had the 3:20 version. The 1983 UK/EU reissue was on 45 and 12", containing the Long Version and Extended Version, respectively. If I'm not mistaken, the 5:59 "Uptown Mix" is the Vital Idol (1985) name for the Extended Version. Edited by mjb50 - 11 hours 11 minutes ago at 11:21pm

	The 1980 UK 45 with catalog number CHS 2444 has the LP mix. The 1983 US 45 uses the remix (Chrysalis 42723). I'm not 100% positive which version is on the 1981 US 45.
