That doesn't sound like the official one seen on MTV Europe. Thanks!

MoP instr. is indeed unavailable on any official CD, but CITW instr. isn't.
It's on the original Rocket Man CD single.

Yes, the Steam maxi CD contains Games Without Frontiers [Massive/DB mix],
which indeed does have Kate's vocals, but they are the same as on the
