The actual commercial 45 run time of T'Pau's "Heart and Soul" is 3:42. (Timing info once again comes to us from our good friend and esteemed Top 40 expert abagon. The printed record label time is 3:40.) I post this information because all database CD appearances of this song containing the "45 version" comment only run 3:37-3:38, which is :04-:05 shorter than the true commercial 45 time.

Using a digital audio editor, if you copy from 3:45.6 to the end of song and paste into the 45 version starting at 3:14.7, you'll have a file running 3:42.

Just listened to the version of this song on Quality: Lady Power CD and it starts cold with no 7-second fade-in sweep AND it continues without the instrumental "strings." In fact, much of the instrumental background is missing. The intro is edited even more than the 45 version; it's actually an entirely different edit. It runs 3:40. Does anybody know if this could be a DJ version? Or a Canadian version? Or what?

My copy is a promo, and it has the fade-in intro. This is the only copy of the song I have so I can't comment on any mix differences.

FWIW, the Canadian 45 of this song featured the full 4:15 version, containing the extra verse near the beginning of the song not found on the US 45 (unless there was another Canadian 45 that I don't know about...)

I just found the single version on the soundtrack to the 2007 movie The Good Night. This CD is not currently listed in the database.

I see that T'Pau's 1987 album Bridge Of Spies will soon be re-released as a http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/tpau-bridge-of-spies-super-deluxe/ - deluxe edition with bonus material across a 3 disc set.

The tracklisting includes both the LP and 45 versions of Heart And Soul on disc one, plus the 'US Radio Edit' on disc two.

Was there really a US Radio Edit, and if so, was it different to the 45 version? Or did the 45 version differ between the UK and the US? Anyone know?
