Is there a US promo 7" that contains a short version of one of the remixes?

[Tin Soldier]

Afraid not. That said, this is a rather cleanly edited version of the Mexican Mix that matches the time of the standard US 7" mix. At first listen, I thought I missed something too and checked a few things to make sure. Nicely done all the same.

davekcmo - you may be thinking of the US 7" promo of Oh L'amour, which does have an exclusive edit of the PWL Funky Sisters Remix.

Here is the Discogs entry:

Good point. It crossed my mind, but didn't occur to me to point it out.

I have that already. Thanks, though!

35 years ago today this single was released and is the reason I got into Erasure and because of what happened in the next 35 years means I’m still here and still loving what they do.
Keep it up guys!!

A very early morning tv appearance from the Who Needs Love era,with Blancmange sharing the sofa on Good Morning Britain 1985.

Never seen that before. It's almost painful viewing. Wonder what Andy thinks of himself looking back at that? He's immensely confident now compared to then. Looks like the kid's first day at big school!
