To be eligible for the UK charts, UK singles are only allowed to contain a maximum of 20 minutes of audio. If a video is included on a CD single, provided the video is of one of the audio tracks, then this does not count towards the 20 minute limit. For this reason, many of the UK single releases only contain “edit” versions of the remixes. The full length remixes can often be found on promotional only 12″ vinyl releases given to DJ’s in the run-up to a single release. Japanese releases on the other hand, often includes the full length remixes on their CD singles. Last updated 05 March 2002.
