The a-side of the vinyl 45 is the short version from the German CD single. Does anyone
anyone know if the b-side is the longer Radio Mix from the CD single, or the LP version
from Party Your Body?

Dave-

I don't have any proof, just circumstantial evidence, but the B-side is more likely to be the "Radio Mix" than the LP Version, as the label of the 45 indicates edits were done by "The Whiz Kids", who are also
credited on the import CD single. The album version gives no such credit. Also both the "Radio Mix" and the 45 B-Side version both have a listed time of 4:56, while the LP Mix is listed as 5:03.

Chuck M sent me a dub of the 45 a and b side.

a-side is indeed the 3:50 actual Short Version from the German CD single, and b-side is the Radio Mix from the same CD single. The Radio Mix runs 4:52 on the CD single (I had to crank the
volume up on the fade as it's a long fade out.) Chuck's dub of the b-side runs 4:40, and abruptly ends with a lot of surface noise. It's hard to say if runs the same length as the CD
single.

I've only ever heard the Party Your Body LP version on the air, even as a recurrent. Thanks again Chuck!

I just discovered this song on Pandora a couple weeks ago. The version that popped up a few times was a "radio only" song, meaning I can't just play it - it has to come up randomly. There's no artwork/cover for most "radio only" songs (just a light blue square), but I believe such tracks used to be available to play, and most were on a CD that was probably pulled from digital.

Anyway, the version I heard was about 3:15-3:30 (definitely shorter than the "short version" above) but was cut off suddenly. I'm not sure if it would have segued to another song, or was accidentally cut off. It may have been a different mix than the 2 above (and I liked it quite a lot), as I compared it to other versions on Pandora (and Spotify), and I don't think it was there.
