Nope, it has different lyrics. I've always wondered how they managed to change the lyrics of a "live" recording. Could it be possible that they performed the song twice at the concert? One with and one without profanities? I've never A/B'd the LP and censored versions to see if the vocals match up in the rest of the song.

I just compared my commercial 45 of "Love Song", labeled as "Edit" on the label, to the LP version.
To recreate the 45, cut off the first 1:17 of the LP version, and add a very gentle fade-in in the first two seconds or so. All else is the same. My commercial 45 runs 4:04. |

Regarding "Signs," the database currently indicates "LP version" for all CD entries. The original LP has this song seguing together with the previous and next tracks, which is not true of other CD entries. It seems like some additional notation may need to be made.

It should be noted the "Censored" version of Signs still contains the 'Fuckin up
the scenery" in the chorus. The only line that's changed is the last verse "Made up my own fuckin' sign" to the original "Made up my own little sign". |

[QUOTE=aaronk] In looking at my book, "Love Song" by
Tesla is only listed in it's LP Version on all CDs (unless the newer editions have a 45 version listed). Was the 45 version an edit of the LP version or a different mix altogether? I have a promo CD that has the CHR and Rock version. I think the rock version was the 45 version if I'm not mistaken. I will send it to you. |

The censored version should say "Blocking up the scenery" |

Since promos put both versions first on competing copies, do we think the CHR or the rock / 45 version was considered the "hit" radio version?

I wonder if Ed still has his promo CD single. I only have the disc that has the CHR Edit as the lead track, and there's no online listings for the one Ed has.
I wasn't yet working in radio when this song came out, but it seems like top 40 would've gone with the CHR Edit, regardless of which track it was on the disc. |
