Does anyone know which versions of "Paradise" have shown up on CD (including imports), besides the album version of course? Also, has the non-Rizzuto version been on CD? I'd be curious to hear that. For any Jim Steinman written songs, I tend to go with the longest version of the song, because his songs are meant to be epic; while for most other songs, I generally go with the single version.

The non-Rizzuto version is on the SONY MUSIC 100 Years: Sound Track For A Century/Rock - The Train Kept A Rollin' 2 CD set.

Yes, the short 45 version has appeared on several CDs, but I think Gordon is asking about the promo 12" version. To my knowledge, those promo 12" versions have never been on CD.

Wow! I'm surprised you made it outta there in one piece. (Lawd I can't stand this song!)
With that said, I used this one for the bathroom break. In almost all cases I ever had the folks dancing were clowning too hard to see that the DJ had disappeared. Mind you,
I often had a staff member watch the booth in my absence. I can't even imagine how many CDs I'd lose if I had just walked away for eight and a half minutes.

I haven't been on this board for about 3 months, so just catching up now. Good
to know about the non-Rizzuto version on that CD comp. I'll have to look for it.
Of course, I prefer the version with him - it's such an integral part of the song.
But as a fan of Meat Loaf, and being a collector, I think it would be nice to have
this version.
Aaron, I wasn't asking about promo 12" versions and didn't know they exist.
But from your post, they obviously do - on vinyl only. Were they just edits? Or
in any way remixed (although I can't imagine that)?
