Sounds like the promo edit is also faster than the stock
edit (if the YouTube link is any indication).

Thanks for the heads-up, I was able to track down a promo
copy of this. It almost sounds like there are 2 edits in
the short version: the instrumental bridge being shortened
and another somewhat rough-sounding edit about :25 before
that.

When comparing the promo edit to the stock 45 version, the section from 2:40 to 3:13 is removed, and the promo fades sooner. As Doug indicates, the promo runs a little faster, too.

It just never made it past "New And Active". Possibly if it was a 40 position
chart-as it later became-itwould have charted.

The AOR i worked at in West Virginia in 1983 played this
song, though I don't remember how long.

It doesn't get as many spins as Radar Love, but I do
hear the song on Classic Rock stations locally these
days.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't the LP version.

In Chicago, WLS-AM played the long 45 during the day and the LP version at night. WLS-FM played the LP version in all dayparts except
mornings (simulcast with the AM). TTBOMR, WBBM-FM played the long 45.

Most likely it would've cracked the R&R Top 40, had the chart gone that far down, likely stalling somewhere around #35 or so.

I remember lots of airplay on the local rock stations and just heard it a handful of times on the Top 40 stations. The fact that it hit #1 on Billboard's Rock Tracks chart confirms that it was a big rock hit, not so much Top 40.

Yes, I was referring to the LP version, not the short
version.
