Not to pass judgement on the "remix", but there is an "edit" version of
Power and the Passion that was released on white label promo, and as the
b-side of one of the P&P 12" singles that is only 3:58 as compared ot the
album cut length of 5:40.  I would think this is the version Ian is speaking
of, and it was not just whipped up by a dj, but actually a real cut on
singles released to radio stations.  At least, that's my thinking on it.
