However, they also, for a bit, had the unremixed version available. (I can remember Casey played it on AT40 rather than the remix because it was shorter) A better example is Robert Plant's "In The Mood", a 3:30 minute single but a five minute album cut. It worked because, on the album, after 3:30 all that happened was the instrumentals continued for a bit while Robert Plant kept humming "I'm in the mood". A real snorer. -- "Oh, you mean user-compatible Peter Merchant liveware? No, he's out today."
