Scorpions - No One Like You

   Since I'm sure it won't be too long before Gene's "80's hit magnifying 

glass" happens upon the non-Top 40 hits of 1982, I present long/short 

version promo 45 details for this Scorpions AOR/MTV classic. In this case, 

its Hot 100 peak of #65 in 7/82 doesn't feel to me like it reflects the 

song's true popularity.

The "long" side of the promo 45 exactly mimics the stock 45's details. 

Both a listed and actual time of (3:55). (Deadwax: "76153-2-56588-

LONG-PRC-C-1-1    -A-"). The "short" side of the promo has a listed time 

of (3:06) and an actual time of (3:07). (Deadwax: "76153-2-56588-PRC-

C-2-1-1   -A-").

There is an edit involved in the short version, as its :18 1/2 second intro 

is just over half as long as the :35 second intro that appears on the long 

version. I'm also just about certain I heard another edit at around (2:50), 

with another verse of the chorus appearing within this version's last :20 

seconds.

Again, my apologies to the editors for not being able to shoot out a short 

version dub for this. Aaron will soon be receiving my promo 45, and 

whenever his busy schedule permits, I'm hopeful he'll be able to provide 

exact specifics for the short promo version, for anyone interested.
