Only Women Bleed - full version not available digitally?

Post by lordcatfish » Sat Mar 06, 2021 12:56 pm

Apologies if this has been brought up before, I did do a search (although couldn't get advanced search to work) and didn't see anything.

I've been listening to music via Spotify a lot more recently as my iPod has died and my CDs are in storage. I've noticed that "Only Women Bleed" is only available as the 03:30 edit when I was streaming (both on compilations and the Welcome to My Nightmare album). I've just checked the YouTube video on the official Alice Cooper channel and it is the 03:30 version. I've also had a look at the mp3s up on Amazon and Apple Music, and they only have the 03:30 edit listed to buy, even if you're buying WtMN in its entirety. Assuming it's not a listing error, it looks like the full version of the song can't be bought / experienced digitally. As far as I can tell, all physical copies of WtMN still have the full version.

Is this likely to be an error or conscious choice?

Interesting

Amazon Music UK has 5.50 version as part of the WTMN album.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Only-Women-Bleed/dp/B07W16SC1K
But the 3.30 version elsewhere.

The single version seems to have been included with WTMN in the USA though, and yes I'm seeing 3.30 on Spotify as well.

If only his new songs were composed with such great musical transitions between sections as the 5:59 version of OWB...
