Obviously EMI America thought the album version was too short, too. When
they released the single in the U.S. (with a photo sleeve that was the
same photo as the HoL cover but with a frame), they included an extended
mix of the track on the b side.

It's a re-edited (not remixed) version of the lp version of HoL that goes
on for about four minutes (obviously, there's some repetition). I don't
think it's some great lost item but it is an interesting curiousity for
the hard-core fan. I occassionally see this 7" single at record
conventions in the U.S
