Stop me before I buy again!
Over the holiday weekend I was cleaning up my playlists (taking screenshots of them before deleting them from my iTunes library) and I noticed on my Rain playlist, Duran Duran's "Hold Back the Rain" was missing. I never cared for the 6:30 version on my vinyl and I noticed the original UK pressing had a runtime of under 4:00 minutes; plus, I was never too cracked up with the extended version of "Hungry Like the Wolf". So I downloaded the 2001 remaster (I was hemming and hawing between that and the 2009 remaster), which is based off the original UK pressing. What's also cool about it is that "Lonely in Your Nightmare" is shorter too. Though I think I prefer "My Own Way" on my old vinyl — that one clocks in at 4:31, while the MP3 I downloaded yesterday is 4:51. Sounds like side two of the album is the same on both editions.
