"Heaven" - Bryan Adams

   Just wanted to note that Bryan Adams' "Heaven" fades out :07 sooner on the Like, Omigod! The '80$ Pop Culture Box (Totally) CD set (Rhino 78239) than on the 45 and LP.

	I recently learned this song was originally written for, and released on, the soundtrack to the 1983 movie A Night In Heaven. Not having the soundtrack, I only heard it as it played during the movie. To my ears it sounds like the same version that later became a #1 hit in 1985. Can someone confirm there are no differences.

	New question about this song: Has the live B-side version of "Heaven" on this single ever appeared on CD? Edited by Brian W.

	I bought the soundtrack to a night in heaven when I was a kid just to get that song after the original video was played on MTV. They actually made a DIFFERENT video when the song became a hit--but yes, as far as my ears could always tell, it's the same exact version.

	<threadcrap> The "A Night In Heaven" soundtrack also has the original version of "Obsession" (later covered by Animotion), as done by Michael Des Barres and Holly Knight. Oddly, enough Animotion's other big hit, "Room To Move", was also a remake (done originally by Climie Fisher). </threadcrap>

	This song got quite a bit of Top 40 airplay in early 1984 as an album cut from the movie soundtrack. In fact, it got as high as #2 on both of my hometown Top 40 stations (KDWB and WLOL) in March of 1984. It then became a #1 national hit when it was released as a proper single in 1985.

	Extremely interesting little factoid, there, Mr. Haney! I never knew anything of it. And, upon further examination (you know what I mean, and I'll go sort that all out ASAP!), there were also a good many other Top 40 markets who similarly charted "Heaven" as an LP cut in '84. Paul, if you happen to know of/stumble upon any other such examples of this "pre-hit-45, LP cut airplay" in your travels, please share. I believe them to be quite noteworthy. :) Edited by jimct

	Even though Boston had 3 full-market signal CHRs in 1984 (WZOU, WHTT & Kiss 108), I don't recall any of them playing this song prior to it being a single.

	WGCL-FM (G98) in Cleveland also played "Heaven" in 1984 from the soundtrack album. I definitely remember hearing it early, because when I got the LP when it came out, I knew the song already. Edited by musicmanatl

	To answer Brian's question, the only place I've seen the "B" side "Diana" on CD is on a CD 3" single. It may be on other CDs but that's the only place I've seen it.
