Def Leppard- Armageddon It

I haven't found a pre-2017 instance of the UK short version/edit as discussed earlier in the thread being pressed on CD. If you want to create that edit with better/less aggressive EQ, it's a pretty easy three-
snips-and-a-fade from the original album version. I would use either the original Hysteria CD or at least something no later than 1995's Vault greatest hits collection as my source to get started.
I did use the 1987 CD pressing of Hysteria for the edit described below:

1. The first edit is 8.016 seconds, cutting from 1:42.264 to 1:50.280 of the album version. This effectively cuts the second half of the post-chorus vamping between the 1st chorus and 2nd verse of the LP
Version.
2. From the remaining file, cut 16.023 seconds from 2:00.031 to 2:16.054. (The left edit point will be right on the drum beat concurrent with Joe's "You got it!" vocal, and the right edit point will be right
on a guitar chord concurrent with Joe's "You know you..." This edits out the 2nd half of the actual verse, but leaves the pre-chorus afterward. NOTE: I'm not actually wild about their choice of
editing points here, and think it sounds better to move both edit points about one half second to the left, each, so that both your edit points are on a guitar chord. It's smoother that way and less "jumpy"
sounding. Nevertheless! the instructions described here are for remaking the edit as on the UK 45, exactly. So use your own judgment there.
3. From the remaining file, cut from about 4:12.296 to the end of the file, and apply a bell curve fade starting at around 3:56.113.

Your file should run about 4:13. I added about 2 secs of silence on the end of my file to give it some space.
