I attempted to edit the 8+ minute "Lunar Mix" down to the 45 version and it can't be done. The most noticeable problem was the echo on the first verse around the 0:30 mark (of the single). The 45 doesn't have the echo (or response) on "white night...strange city." The long version has "white night (white night)...strange city (strange city)," continuing like that all throughout the verse, etc.
I likewise found that the version on Vault, the "video remix," matches the 45 except for the missing segment in the breakdown, like Aaron reported. One can splice in 2:49.1 to 3:06.8 of the 45 at the 2:49.1 mark of the "video remix" for the actual single edit. I couldn't hear any other differences, although the intro on the "video mix," at least on Vault, isn't quite as smooth as the 45. Edited by Plastic Steel |

Some additional info. regarding the single versions for this song, to help clear up some questions from above:
The U.S. 45 version, while labeled "Lunar Mix", is actually an edit that borrows heavily from both the long Lunar Mix and the LP Version. The intro, and if I recall correctly, some of the breakdown, may be taken from the long remix, but the main body of the song, including the verses, is lifted from the LP Version. That's why you lose all those "response" vocals going from the Lunar Mix "long" version to the "Lunar Mix" 45 Version. It's been a few years since I worked it out myself, but before the "Lunar Mix" 45 version became commonly available, I had used the LP Version and 8:00 "Lunar Mix" on the 2006 Deluxe Edition of Hysteria to come up with a pretty flawless remake of the single version. As noted, the Video Edit is a simple edit of the 45 version, that snips out just a little bit of the breakdown. (Why???) There is also an outlier, as well. Apparently, the UK 45 featured a different (re-)edit of the LP Version: perhaps it was issued before the "Lunar" mixes were created. Here it is on Youtube. It seems to be available on commercial and promo 45 in the UK, and remastered now on the super deluxe Hysteria as well. It's a nice straight edit that loops back to the end of the 1st chorus at around the 3:30 mark to avoid getting into even the tiniest bit of the "breakdown" for some reason, and then after a few measures of the bass-guitar post-chorus boogie, it jumps forward to the ramping up toward the end of the LP Version and plays out. I wish I had kept edit notes when I remade this one, but it wasn't terribly hard, even if it is a bit ugly. |
