Edited 9 months agoThis 5:25 edit makes the difference between a flop record and a hit record. "Paradise..." started as an 8:28 song that was part of the album "Bat out of hell". An earlier fade was made to make it a 7:55 single. This version was released as a single in many countries, including the Netherlands (there is also a single catalogued EPC 6673 with the 7:55 version on it). However, many radio stations refused to play this record because of its length. So it was decided to edit the track even more, leaving out the baseball-play-by-play and also some vocal and instrumental parts, but still keeping the song meaningful. The result was a 5:25 edit that was repressed as a single. It was this version that caused a lot of airplay in our country and as a result of it, it went straight to number one and the album made it to number one as well.
This 5:25 edit was even making impact in the United States, where it was included as the B-side to a re-released "You took the words right out of my mouth" (8-50634). This re-issue made it to No. 39 in the Billboard Hot 100, the same result as "Paradise..." as the original 7:55 A-side.
