The DJ 45 for Starship "We Built This City" has a printed run time of (4:17), but both sides actually run (4:30). The side with the DJ chatter is not actually an edit, but an early fade of the LP/45 version. (The flip side is also an early fade, but it does not have the DJ chatter.)

Does anyone know if the DJ 45 version without the DJ chatter has ever appeared anywhere on CD? I could've sworn I had it somewhere in my collection at one time, but I've checked all my CDs and they all have the DJ chatter.

Yes, it can be found on the compilation Roller Hockey, although it runs the full-length on that CD and does not fade to (4:30).

Do any of the versions that were produced for specific radio stations exist anywhere? The reason I bring this up is that I was reading up on the passing of Ron Lundy (a NY radio icon) and he can be heard (as well as Harry Harrison) on the WCBS-FM version of the song.

I would love to get my hands on clean copies of this as well as other NY stations (and possibly from other stations around the country.)
Does anyone own these versions or know where to get them?
Thanks.

There was also a 12" single without the chatter. I believe the versions without the chatter were used to make the local versions; which were produced by the individual stations.

I have MP3s of four different custom versions used by WCBS-FM. I also have the version used by WCAU-FM Philadelphia which has a very cool customized jingle in the intro and the original version used by Q105 Tampa. I'd love to collect some more if anyone has others.
I do have the DJ edit on a CD on the radio-only set The "A" List and it is with the early fade.

I got the WCAU-FM one long ago on a file-sharing program (maybe WinMX?). I don't recall where I got the CBS-FM ones, but it was probably the same place. The Q105 version I lifted from a clean aircheck of the station recorded in the late '80s.

Not sure if this is helpful, but my copy of Starship's "Greatest Hits (Ten Years And Change 1974-1991)" has the version with no chatter, and runs 4:38.
Rather than an early fade, the intro is chopped of, starting with the drums. For my own listening, I edited the intro back on to make it full length, the way i used to hear it occasionally along with the 45 version, or the custom versions for different stations. -MM

ISTR Kiss 108 in Boston playing it without the cold intro, though I don't ever recall hearing a special version that mentioned the station on any of the Boston CHRs...they just played the "no dj" edit as-is.
