Is the U.S. single version of "The Visitors (Crackin' Up)", aka 'Short Version', the mix found on the 1993 first pressing of "More ᗅᗺᗷᗅ Gold"?

A few years ago I learned that the ᗅᗺᗷᗅ guys ain't interested on releasing any of the mixes that were made by their international record labels (i.e. without their input / involvement).

How did you get the backwards B to display? I don't see
that as an option in character map.

The promo 45 had a "short version" on one side with a printed time of 4:22, and a "long version" on the other side with a printed time of 5:47 (it's the LP version).

The commercial 45s were all 5:47, which is also the LP version.

I believe that the version on More Abba Gold is the promo 45 version.

Thanks Ron, I assumed tha5. I wanted to be sure since the track timing on the comp is 4:28.
