Elton John - Song for Guy (radio edit)

   Hi, Just wondering please if there has been an 

official CD release with the original single edit of 

Elton John's "Song for guy".  They seems to be a lot 

of mismatched information between discogs and my CD 

collection.  On the 1982 "Love Songs", it notes the 

length being 5:18, yet on my CD copy it is the full 

sleepy 6:37.  As in relation to the 1990 Very Best of 

Elton John, Discogs notes 5:05, yet my CD copy has 

6:40.

There is a 5:02 version on his 1995 1996 edition of 

love songs which would have sufficed, but 

unfortunately its been put through the dog cutter, the 

waveform is already badly damaged from over 

compression, as this was the start of the loudness 

war.  

So now I'm surmising that the single edit of this song 

was not released during the better days of CD, pre 

1993?  If not, I'll have to cut it myself, but though 

my editing skills are good, I'm really trying to keep 

this option as an absolute extremely last resort as I 

prefer to have official releases in my collection.
