Instructions for edit:
Chop off intro. Edit on the word "took" at 2:36 of remaining audio, removing 19 seconds. Last part you hear on the fade of the 45 is "...kissing me." The next hand claps are not present. Without modifying the pitch of the LP version, the run time is (3:49). The 45 runs just a smidge faster, but not worth noting. |

I've always tried to keep an eye out for a long/short promo copy of this,
that Doug says he saw in his initial post. (Doug's got mad cred with me - I believe the dude!) :) Still no luck. Just as a point of interest, "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" was actually the first 45 issued from "Bat Out Of Hell." Whereas the 45 release that hit #39 in BB in 1/79 was Epic 50634, its original, non-hit 45 release was back in 11/77, as Epic 50467. FYI, the promo 45 I own for this release (with is also mono/stereo, listed (3:40) both sides) also has a bit of "extra title" tacked onto it. It adds "(Hot Summer Night)" to the end. And, as a person who's been burned before by such stock # differences (meaning I bought a copy with a non-hit stock #, without realizing it), I just wanted to post this additional info, as a heads-up to anyone who might be looking for it. There were two different stock 45 releases! Edited by jimct |

Just for the record, I'd like to add that the original release of this song (on 50467) did hit #73 in Record World (as shown in our "Hit Records" book) and #97 in Cash Box (to be shown in a future Record Research book).

Paul, thanks for noting that this song charted on Cashbox and Record World back in its original issue. Our FM top 40 in Cleveland, WGCL (G-98), played that song a million times during it original release. I started listening weekly to AT40 in January 1979 and was surprised to hear this song debut shortly after that. G-98 was playing it as a recurrent occasionally, but it was not in full rotation when it hit the top 40. I wonder if its split airplay (some in '77, some in '79) prevented it from charting higher during its '79 chart run.
