Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

I've finally tracked down the promo single of Silent Lucidity by Queensryche, one of my all time favorites. I didn't know there was an edit until a few years ago, thanks to this site.
Unfortunately, the cd rear jacket reads 4:59, the cd cover itself reads 4:59, but on the cd is the album version clocking in at 5:44, the only version I have ever heard or known. The cd number is EMI DPRO-4700.

Can anyone confirm a 4:59 version?

Gary, I agree. This is a fantastic record, but unfortunately I cannot confirm a shorter version than the one we know. It might just be that the database is stating the printed time in the song notes section. My GoldDisc library also has the full 5:44 version.

Even the video on the Queensryche web site is the full LP version. If any edit were available, you would think it would have been used on the video. Of course, there really may be an official edit floating around, but I've never heard it.

I just heard an edit of "Lucidity" on an old "Casey's
Top 40". This was pretty
aggressive, down to ~4:00 - cutting out most of the
spooky bridge to the final
chorus. This was likely an in-house edit, but it piqued
my curiosity.

On Discogs, the elusive 4:59 edit is listed on some
other releases, including
the Australian 7" promo and a
promo comp from Capitol
Records
Canada.
To Gary's point, these listed times may be wrong but the
edit may exist
somewhere. Does anyone have either of these?

Is this a classic case of record companies purposely printing an
incorrect shorter time on the label hoping to get airplay?

Returning to the post, Silent Lucidity (Single Edit),
exists and was released in 2021 in the Empire album box.
