Is there more than one US single edit for Dire Straits/Sultans Of Swing? I have the original WB 45 which is the RE-1 variant which is the LP cut. I am aware of a different UK single version which is a different vocal. Wonder if that appeared in the USA? Enquiring minds wish to know! Thanks!

The short answer is "yes."

Thanks! My copy is a RE-1. Stock WB single. So apparently there's a US DJ version with the UK released take. I'll dig through the station library at work and see if we have one.
