One of a Kind (Love Affair) (Short Version)

When I was looking this promo copy over, I noticed the "New Version" label and discovered that indeed Atlantic had pulled the original version, clocking at 3:31 minutes, and replaced it with this one, which is 11 seconds shorter... 3:20. Curious, I checked my other stock, and most of the cutouts were the 3:31 release. What's the difference? I had to record both and do a comparison in my audio editor, but it turns out that the trimmed bit has what might have been mistaken for an offensive lyric. The bit comes right after the instrumental bridge, where Phil Wynne sings,\r\n

One of a kind love affair is...
Makes you wanna love her,
You just gotta hug her, yeah...

The first couple of times I listened to it today, I thought Wynne was singing, "You just gotta hurt her, yeah," and I suspect that's what some other listeners thought, giving Atlantic an earful I suppose.

Much ado about nothing? Heck no! This is the kind of trivia that makes 45 collecting so special, and so different from collecting other forms of vinyl!

So now you know... Go back and check your own copy of this gem! I'm curious to know how many 3:20 copies are out there, and how many 3:31's, aren't you? :-)
