*The song "Passion" was also released as a Promo DJ-Only 12" Single. It's basically a continuation of the ad-lib vocals where the LP version fades, continuing to a time length of 7:30. This extended version was a bonus track on the US 8-track and US cassette releases. Oddly, where the album version (and later CD version) timed out to 5:29, the 45RPM Single timed out to a few seconds longer of 5:35 (even though the label stated 5:29) making it essentially about :06 seconds longer than the album version. The Promo 45RPM Single/Radio Edit was shortened to 4:45, vividly editing the piano intro and going into a quick fade-out, just before the closing choruses. The B-side of the Radio Edit Promo was the 5:35 version, as was the B-side of the DJ-Only 12" Single. |
