Here are the first two tracks from what I consider one of the best pop music albums ever produced (released in 1978). The following information explaining the particular situation with this LP is taken from the Discogs website: Four versions are known to exist of this album content-wise, with varying track durations. The versions can be identified by the length of the first two tracks, “Nightflight To Venus“ and “Rasputin“, which are the only tracks with a different duration on each version. Both tracks form a medley, and the length of the medley obviously varies between the versions. On the first version, “Nightflight To Venus“ is 7 minutes 9 seconds (medley 13m 37s), on the second 5m 55s (medley 11m 58s), on the third 4m 58s (medley 10m 48s), and on the fourth 4m 46s (medley 10m 36s). Note: The durations above refer to the actual length, which can vary greatly from what's printed on the sleeve or label. The fourth version, considered the 'final' or 'finished' version, is the most common one and it appears on most copies. All official CD's also contain the fourth version. All four versions are known to exist on the original German Hansa label LP's only, but the odd copy on a non-Hansa label may also contain a version other than #4. Some cassettes are also known to contain a version other than #4. As of 2019, the first German pressing / version of this album, which features an instrumental interlude on “Rasputin“ that was completely removed from the following versions, seems unobtainable in physical form (but still haven't completely lost hope).
