B03.01 Radio Musicola
Album version (5:51)
Available on the 1986 "Radio Musicola" album (vinyl LP, tape, CD and online digital file).
This version is also available on four collections.
bpm speed is slightly different on some collections.
1993 Best Of NK (Track 12 - 5:45)
1994 Wouldn't It Be Good (Track 13 - 5:51)
2000 The Essential (Track 16 - 5:36 - Shorter fade-out)
2022 Essential Nik Kershaw (Track 4 - Disc 1 - 5:51)
7" Edit version (4:11)
This edit version was released on the NIK11 7" vinyl record in 1986 and as B-side of the 1987 German only "James Cagney" 7" record.
Though different releases of the 7" single mention on the back sleeve a length of 4:13 or 4:16, the mix is in fact shorter.
The full length Edit version is NOT AVAILABLE on CD.
Some Nik Kershaw fans debate on whether the single version is or is NOT available on CD.
Some claim that the 7" version is NOT the same that can be found on some collections (2005 "Then & Now" CD or various artists collection albums).
Others claim that the mix is the same but with a different fade out.
So I decided to have a deeper analysis of the 7" version, the 2005 "Then & Now" CD version and the video version).
You can read it HERE.
The conclusion is that the mix for these three sources... with a slightly different bpm speed (which induces different track lengths).
Also, the Video version has a slightly shorter fade out.
The "Then & Now" version has a much shorter fade out.
Video Edit version (4:06)
The soundtrack of the 1986 video clip is available on the 2005 "Then & Now" video collection DVD.
7" Shorter Edit version (4:00)
As mentioned here-above, track 10 on the 2005 "Then & Now" CD collection is the same mix as the 7" version but with a shorter fade out.
Note that length of the track is listed as 4:00, it is in fact a little shorter.
7" Alternate single version (4:00)
A previously unreleased mix is track 3 on the B side (first vinyl record) of the 2023 "Collected" vinyl collection.
Definitely different from the original 7" edit version.
Extended version / Extended mix (7:15)
This extended mix by Bryan "Chuck" New was released on the NIKT11 "Radio Musicola" 12" vinyl record in 1986 and as B-side of the 1987 German only "James Cagney" 12" record.
It is available as track 8 on disc 3 on the 2022 "Essential Nik Kershaw" CD collection.
Also released as track 23 of the 2022 online only "Extended Versions" collection.
