Is this the info you're looking for, Rich?

I did a closer comparison of the LP version and the 45/CD version, and noted the following differences:

The 45/CD mix has:

• additional keyboards on the intro
• no teletype noises in the break at 1:32 and 3:29
• a slightly longer delay on the vocal echo throughout the song
• a slightly different vocal take on the line "you don't really want to know just how far it's gone" at 3:00
• quieted or removed guitar chord on down beats during the verses at 1:57–2:14 and 2:55–3:13
• differently panned and slightly louder telephone ringer noise at 3:36 & 5:17–end.

I went ahead and added this info to Wikipedia.


@Jody Thornton - The countdown shows you heard the German 45 edit on must not have included American Top 40. Here is what they played:

• 1982-11-13: LP version, faded at 5:25
• 1982-11-20: 45 version, faded at 5:19
• 1982-11:27: LP version, faded at 5:17
• 1982-12-04: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:18
• 1982-12-11: LP version, faded at 5:22
• 1982-12-18: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:28
• 1983-01-08: LP version, faded at 5:30
• 1983-01-15: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:28 (1st play) & 4:12 (2nd play)
• 1983-01-22: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:23
• 1983-01-29: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:29
• 1983-02-05: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:23
• 1983-02-12: LP version edited at 2:14 to remove guitar solo & next verse, faded at 4:17
• 1983-12-31: 45 version edited at 1:37 to remove 2 verses & guitar solo, faded at 4:00

I assume their edits were done in-house. The LP edit removes 0:48, and the 1983 year-end edit removes 1:18.
