Does anyone have the Remix/Edit version of Don't Be My
Enemy by Wang Chung? It runs 3:37. Another few I am looking
for Is the 45 Version of Beat Street Breakdown by
Grandmaster Melle Mel. It runs 4:13. The 45 version of
Flashes by Tiggi Clay. It runs 3:56. The 45 Version of Taxi
by J. Blackfoot. It runs 4:35. Loverboy by Karen Kamon.

"Don't Be My Enemy" versions I know about:

This one starts with 3 heavily processed drum hits, the 3rd being a reversed copy of the 2nd:

• 4:23 Points on the Curve album version

All of these start with an open hi-hat sound:

• 3:56 untitled full-length version (as on the B-side of the UK 12")
• 3:31 untitled single version (as on the UK 45, b/w 3:40 edit of "The Waves (Instrumental)")
• 3:38 "Edit/Remix" version (as on the US promo 45 & promo 12")
• 8:53 "Ticking Groover Mix" (as on the UK 12", slightly early fade of Extended Dance Remix)
• 9:02 "Extended Dance Remix" (as on the US 12", ends cold w/jazzy sax solo)

I have "CM"'s dub of a 45. It's tagged as "remix edit" and runs 3:37. Is this the promo "Edit/Remix"?

Did the retail 45 use the same edit?

This is "CM". The 45 was dubbed from a stock copy of the
45. Likely the promo 45 was the same version.
