I recently bought a 4CD compilation from the UK called Now That's What I Call The Ultimate Party (2025). It includes a 3:47 version of this song (subtitled "Radio Edit") that edits out the slow intro and starts on drums. Did this version exist in 1986, or was it a new edit created for this compilation?

I don't have it any longer, but this 3.47 edit was on a 7" UK vinyl promo pressing from 1986. This edit was also on the vinyl and cassette releases of Now That's What I Call Music 9 released in the UK in 1987.
