Gene pointed me to a place on the 'net where I was able to listen to the "Dance Mix." Yes, the short US promo has a short version of this mix. On first listen, it appears that the short US promo cannot be edited from this mix, though, because of additional samples on the "Dance Mix" that are not present on the dj 45. I didn't actually try it or do any close comparisons, but I'm pretty familiar with the short dj 45 remix, and I don't think it can be done.

FYI.
I own the "Dance mix" on the 12" vinyl "Diamonds." A&M SP-12231 (U.S. pressing) 1987. Side A Diamonds "Dance Mix" actual 6:44, listed 6:45 Side B 1.Diamonds "Instrumental" listed time 5:10 2.Diamonds "Beats Dubcappella" listed time 3:10 "Rise" on "The Very Best CD" released in Japan in 1993 is an "edit of the LP version." (NOT the 45 version.) "Rotation" on the CD is the same as the U.S. commercial 45. --abagon |

So there is no such edit of the LP version?

Back during the height of the song's popularity, Z-100 in
NY played an edit of the LP version that I had taped off the radio back then and then recreated using editing software years later. I've never found this edit on vinyl or cd so it might have been an in house edit. It's also possible a shorter LP edit made it to promo 45 and was not labeled correctly. Edited by promojunkie |
