I don't know, I don't own it. But must be the same one.

does anyone have a promo cd single for this track that they
could list the times & versions?

With the discussion around this song (I either never knew or had forgotten over the years that the commercial cassette single in the U.S. used a
longer edit than the lead track of the promo CD single), I went searching and found some Kym Sims digital EPs available on Qobuz, including "Too
Blind to See It".

Unfortunate news: while this release appears to contain a lossless transfer of the correct 3:50 commercial single edit, it is actually an upconvert
of a pretty lossy file. The digital information is cut just right around the 16k area of the spectrogram, so it looks like a 128k mp3 rip to me,
just put into a WAV file format. It doesn't really sound terrible, but to see a professional release handled this way irks me, so wanted to put a
good buyer beware out there before anyone else gets disappointed on this one.

Hey Andy,

It is doable! I just completed it for my library using the 5+ minute house mix from the PRCD, but I don't recommend it if you're in a hurry or haven't had good sleep
because it was way more of a task than I thought I was signing up for. No less than ten little edits including replacing a part in the midsection with part of your
already edited intro. Due to that bit of copy+pasting, my exact edit notes may not make sense for you but in the final file, I have edits at:

0:04.679, 0:12.220, 0:17.232, 0:21.142, 2:06.677, 2:22.748, 2:25.017 (*I think this is where the paste-in from the intro came into play), 2:41.109, 2:41.625 and 3:37.476.

My file has audio ending around the 3:53.4 mark using the fade from the original house mix. I will note that the lossy upconvert file from Qobuz that I referenced upthread
comes to absolute silence about 3 beats earlier than my remade edit. This equates to about one descending organ note a bass kick that announces the next measure. I didn't
feel the need to shave this bit off of the edit as (1) I don't know if the Qobuz file can be trusted to be accurate and (2) the minute difference in length is not
noticeable unless you jack the volume all the way up to 100%.

Also, the questionable Qobuz file runs way, way faster than the versions on the promo CD. So much so that it made my head spin when playing them back to back trying to
decode the edit points. As the Qobuz file is an outlier to all other versions, my assumption is that the speed is incorrect and that the intended speed is more in line
with all other known versions. If anyone has a more definitive read on the speed issue, let me know!

[EDIT: After I completed the above-referenced re-editing exercise, I learned that the 3:53 commercial cassette single version and the shorter (~3:32) promo edit are the same
except for the shorter version having a more heavily edited intro -- so there's a much easier way to re-create if needed if you have access to the promo CD. I was working on
the fly and still pretty happy with my file, but just adding this info for the record LOL]
