Hi Ivo,
My copy of the Going Home single (Polydor POSP 657) is an edit of the album version (and doesn't say 'promo' on it anywhere)...the intro is eight bars (I think!) shorter. Presumably they thought the shorter intro would be less likely to put DJs off playing it. I remember being very sad and angry at the time when one of the music papers published an unbelievably offensive (and, I would have thought, libellous) review of it. A great version of a great piece of music. When they performed it live at the time, Brian played keyboard on the intro along with Cliff Hall. I can't really understand why anyone would especially want the edited version included on a CD 34 years later...
