Josh500 1,615 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 These are probably just the edited versions of STH. I'm happy with the short and full versions found on Sound of Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,740 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Call of the Champions (Radio Edits 1-5)Born on the Fourth of July (2-track promo) [featuring a version/remix of the theme which wasn't on the OST and a shorter edit of the same; this version/remix was also on an MCA 2-CD promo titled Reel Music and featured in the official music video]These are probably just the edited versions of STH. I'm happy with the short and full versions found on Sound of Glory. Yes, they are simple edits of STH and are not different performances or recordings.

These aren't bootlegs!!I don't believe that the CotC radio edits were released commercially. I purchased the promo CD which features the five radio edits and a number of interview clips of Williams speaking about the CotC, the Olympics, the commercial CD, etc. Here are scans of the cover and inlay:I also have the Born on the Fourth of July promo CD. Here's a scan I made of the CD itself:I also have the MCA promo set. Here's a scan of the film tin that the CDs came in: Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,452 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 What do you mean with 'commercial album recording'? CD format?Because some of the early singles were released on commercial 45's back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,472 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 All the singles are in the disco, but for this thread i wanted to pick the "unselected" singles, those who cant be found on an album yet (and not promo ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,452 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hmmm...interesting version, Bespin. Can't say I think it's very good (what's with the staccato piano hammering?!?), but it's certainly a unique take. I don't think I've heard that version before.
