Not that it would be really necessary but just for completeness reasons I am searching for the radio edit of the Superheavy track "Energy". Does anyone have this or knows where to get it?

It was only on a rare Promo-CD - [Discogs.com] .

Only one member has this promo on Discogs, and it is on rollingandre’s want list. This means it will be challenging to find, if not impossible, in its original format. Maybe there is a digital copy somewhere out there.

Yes, meanwhile I understand that this is almost a phantom and hard to find.
And I wonder, why there is at all a radio edit and how long it would be when the normal version is only 3:42...

'Energy' was originally intended as the 2nd single - [iorr.org] , [iorr.org] , [Eurythmics-Ultimate.com] , [iorr.org] .

Someone was already interested in 2012 in the radio edits - but got no reply: [iorr.org] . Even Felix Aeppli hasn't got the CD yet (see #1449): [Aeppli.ch] .

I wanted to say that the length of the album version would not make a special radio edit necessary.

Maybe it's a different, more radio-friendly mix (as mentioned in the above links) ?

As the promo has two versions, one will certainly be the album version and the other one with the added (Radio Edit)-title will either be edited or remixed (or even both) to be more radio friendly.

OK, you're right. These 2 radio edit/mixes of Miracle Worker (Chris Lord-Alge Radio Mix and Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley Main Mix Radio Edit) also have both the same length and sound both almost the same as the album version. So why not also the same with Energy?

I don't know, but as they declared track 1 as Radio Edit there must be some difference to the album version, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Maybe they felt the urge to edit it down to about 3 minutes as formatted radio rarely plays anything longer?

Back then I accurately compared both remixes with the album version and I found only some very small differences in the mix. They are different, but it's very hard to hear it. They have all the same length (around 4:07).

Compare yourself:

Superheavy gets a lot of heat, but to me it's excellent - Energy is also a nice track! But sorry, I do't have any edits of it, never knew it existed...
