Does anyone know which version of this song was on the commercial single and / or received the lion's share of airplay at the time? I always thought it was the version that started "Step inside, walk this way ...", but I have been hearing a lot of stations spinning the song recently as a gold recurrent with the beginning "Love me like a Bomb (reverb).
Thanks! |

The 45 version was actually an 'edit' of the import 12"/video version (which is the 'Greatest Hits' version).
Basically the 45 was prety much the album version with the "Step Inside..." intro replaced with the words "Love Is Like A Bomb" only. Andy |

The album version with the a capella "Step inside, walk this way..." intro is the version I too was accustomed to hearing when the song was a hit in 1988. Does anyone have a DJ copy of "Pour Some Sugar on Me"? I'm curious as to which version(s) appear on it.

I have the DJ 45 and it's the "edit" version with "love is like a bomb...".
I *believe* the AOR promo 12" (which was issued three months before the 45) had the LP version. Andy |

I just heard Ed's copy, and that's the first time I had ever heard the true 45 version. I was always used to hearing the LP version and the video/12" version. Yes, it's true that the 45 is an edit of the 12" version; however, it's a horrible edit!
For those wondering, there's only one edit, which cuts from 0:03 to 0:31. It's the first line "love is like a bomb" with a very sloppy edit right before the guitar starts and ending right where the music would kick in on the LP version. Whoever did the editing really butchered it! |

Pulling this thread again as I am a little confused:
I have three different versions of this song: 1)Video Version from Vault 2)Some type of extended version which clocks in around 5:36.... sounds almost like a 12" mix of some sort 3) A version which begins "Step Inside, Walk this way" and clock in at around 4:25. I am a little confused by some of the postings above. I am trying to find out if #3 above (A version which begins "Step Inside, Walk this way" and clock in at around 4:25) is the 45 version or LP version? Thanks. -Jeff |

The 4:25 version with the "Step inside..." acapella intro is the LP version. It's been a long time since I heard the 45 version, but I believe it is an edit of the video version. The "Love is like a bomb..." intro section was shortened on the 45. |

I never heard the 45 version on the radio at all, and in fact I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago. What I always heard was the album version with the "Step inside..." intro cut off to where the song just began with the music. When I got the full album and heard the "Step Inside" intro, I assumed the version I'd been hearing up to that point must have been the single version. I didn't realize the stations must have just been cuing past the spoken intro.

FWIW, I heard the 45 version with "love is like a bomb,-
bomb-bomb" when the song was new and bought the 45. Months later I bought the album and that LP intro was new to me. But as years went on, I mostly heard the LP intro on the radio so I got more used to that one. MM |
