As a kid, I could only afford to buy singles, only because I wanted a variety of songs for my $5.

Playing them over and over again and also hearing the same edits on the radio, it always blew my mind when I finally heard the album version and hearing my favorite songs in an extended form, the way it was meant to be heard.

It was like hearing it for the first time all over again. It still gets me to this day!

Did it trip you out as well??

This does not include the 12" remix!! I knew that was going to be different!

I prefer listening to single edits outside of the corresponding albums--especially on greatest hits/singles compilations. Save the album versions for the albums so I don't have the same version of a song twice.

Sometimes the single version is re-recorded like No One Is To Blame by Howard Jones and Revolution by The Beatles. They're both different than the album versions, but they're not remixes or edits.
