Single/album version distinctions...

Todd Ireland wrote: P.M. Dawn - Looking Through Patient Eyes ==> Single version - 4:06. Album version - 4:06. Commercial single copies contain the "Radio Mix". Like all other P.M. Dawn Top 40 hits, the radio mix/single version is mixed hotter and brighter than its album counterpart.

There's almost no mention of P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift
On Memory Bliss" anywhere in these forums, but this
post led me to research it because both the "Best Of PM
Dawn" CD and their debut "Of The Heart, Of The Soul, Of
The Cross... The Utopian Experience" is out of print
(likely because of this song's Spandau Ballet sample...
there's only a later re-recording of the song on Spotify
and other streaming services).

If you can track down the Best-Of CD, that's where you'll
find the Radio Edit of "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss".
It's a louder mix with more prominent vocals and fades
about 10 seconds earlier than the album version, but the
distinctive difference is the last line of the second
verse -"That's the way it goes, I guess"- it's sung
acapella on the radio edit, whereas the album version has
it with the song's drum track in the mix.

(available on vinyl 45) Commercial cassette single copies state "Edit" on the sleeve, but the single is really just an early fade of the album length. The single and album length have both appeared on domestic CD releases.

The "Single Mix" on the "Romantic" CD Maxi-Single
(https://www.discogs.com/release/174416-Karyn-White-
Romantic) has Karyn's ad-libbed "ooh, yeah baby baby... I
wanna get ro-mannntic" lines in the first 20 seconds
removed from the mix entirely.

The promo CD labels the versions "Edit" and "Album Version," and the "Edit" is an early fade of the "Album Version." The cassette single is also labeled "Edit," so it's likely the same early faded version. The "Single Mix" on the maxi-CD is a different mix from start to finish.
