Question about the "Blind as a Bat" edits

evil nickname · 26 Sep 2007, 22:42

At the moment, I have three edits of "Blind as a Bat" from various promo singles in my collection:

Blind as a Bat (radio edit #1) [04:39]
Blind as a Bat (radio edit #2) [04:24]

from an otherwise unmarked US/Virgin CDR promo, and

Blind as a Bat (radio edit) [04:06]

available on at least two different promos released by Mercury.

I know that there is at least one other promo out there, with a "Pop Edit" and a "Rock Edit" (or a "Pop" and a "Rock Version" or something). I suspect that those edits might be identical to the two US radio edits, so I was wondering if anyone who has said Pop/Rock edit promo could be so kind to provide the track lengths. If they're radically different, we can rule out that they're the same, and vice versa.

Additionally, today I received a copy of the two track 'retail' version, with the "Dead Ringer for Love (live with the MSO)" b-side. I must conclude that a bunch of them must have been produced in Germany.
Would anyone know if stray copies of the 3-track (BAAB, BAAB 'live' and Lie For You with the MSO) are 'out there'?
