Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight"

I would have sworn there was a radio edit of the remix by Ben Liebrand that I heard on Dallas Top 40 radio around '88 - '89 (on KISS-FM, maybe, or Power 95 / Y-95?). I find listed on the internet two versions: a 5:07 remix by Phil Collins which is missing many of the elements from the Liebrand mix, and the Liebrand mix, which runs about 7:37. I can't seem to find an edit, and Discogs doesn't even list a promo for radio in the U.S. Does anybody remember hearing a remix more closely matching the Liebrand mix, edited down, being played on the radio? (I need to dig through my old cassettes and see if I recorded a station playing it..)

Yes. Throughout the 90s up until 2000, the Hot AC station in Philly played the
version you described. An edited version of the Liebrand mix

I appreciate everyone's feedback. It confirms what I found on Discogs.

RadioFan16 seemed to reference the mix I was talking about: not the 5:07 '88 mix but an edit of the 7:34 Ben Liebrand mix.

The '88 mix was done by Phill Collins and doesn't have much of the extra production elements of the 7:34 mix added by Ben.

The version I heard has the extra production elements but did not run 7:34. I didn't time it but it seemed regular length... 5 minutes or less?

This edit of the Ben Liebrand remix is what I'm having a difficult time finding. It matches the beginning and end of the 7:34 mix and the 5:07 mix does not.

I don't know if this edit I heard in Dallas (and apparently played in Philly in the 90s) was an official release, a TM Century edit of the 7:34 mix, or an in-house edit.

Since the 5:07 mix doesn't match what I'm looking for and I can't find an edit of the 7:34 mix, I'm guessing stations made their own in-house edit... something I may be doing next.

The version I heard on KRBE and KKBQ Houston was the one in
this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlydjcNxpUw

JFive, I believe that's the version I heard in Dallas. Thanks for finding this!
