Just found out something interesting about ABC's debut single, which was not released in the United States. The single was remixed and actually five seconds LONGER than the album version.

The album version can be heard here, running 3:30:

...and the single version can be heard here, running 3:35:

The only digital copy of the single version is on the 1981 Now Yearbook, CD 4, but it's a little compressed/limited for my tastes. Does anybody know if the 7" single version has shown up in digital forma anywhere else with greater dynamic range?
