Midnight Star - No Parking On The...

I wish I still had my Spun Gold 45 for the 45 version of
"Freak-A-Zoid" to create a lossless file. All I have is a
320 bitrate mp3. Somehow, I now only have a promo 45 with
"No Parking On The Dance Floor" on both sides.

Has anyone found the 45 version on a CD?

I just received a promo 45 that differs from the other promo in my collection. This one has a printed time of 3:39 and actual time of 3:19. It states "Edited Version" on both sides. The other promo simply states "Edit Version" and runs 4:05.

The opening sound effects and spoken intro have been edited off vs. the 45 version, so the song begins on the snare hit right after "get with it." You can still hear the siren sound effect in the right channel after this snare hit, just before the synthesizers begin.

There are no other edits, but the song fades earlier than the single version. The fade starts at 3:06 and ends just a hair shy of 3:20. I'll call it 3:19.8. It fades to silence right before you'd hear the next "no parking baby" repeat (which would occur around 3:45 of the longer LP and stock 45 length).

Was this a later promo edit than the first Edit Version?
