I'm guessing these Bruce Forest mixes were commissioned by A&M for the U.S. market because I don't think they were released anywhere else, and they certainly haven't appeared on any other CD. I prefer the original 7" and 12" versions, but these mixes are still pretty good!

I have this same pressing but in a black and red A&M sleeve. Seems like it would be a separate sub, but was it not actually released that way?

got this single, the track dreaming on my copy is on both sides, anyone?

I finally found this 7" promo version on YouTube! Been looking for it for years 😊

A worthy release to own for a number of reasons. A final hurrah single, coming between 'The Pacific Age' and 'Sugar Tax' long players in which the band split (temporarily!). The main reason to seek out the 12" are the 2 majestic B-sides. In my view 'Satellite' is a superior track to almost anything on 'The Pacific Age' and feels more like OMD indulging their more experimental pop leanings. Bassline driven, akin to PSB's 'Love Comes Quickly' it's easily one of their most memorable B-sides. Important to note that the track did not make it onto the 'Navigation' compilation of OMD B-sides which was a criminal omission. So you need the 'Dreaming' release to own it physically.
Then we come to 'Gravity Never Fails' and we go full on with an 'Architecture & Morality' out-take from '81 that fully deserved to be on the LP or 'Dazzle Ships'. Again, classic OMD and a firm favourite of mine for the inter switch between discordant/pretty synth riffs running throughout the track.

A2. "Radio Edit" is the version known also as "Radio USA Mix".

It would be clearer to call them like this:
Track 1: Instrumental Club Mix
Track 2: 7" Club Mix Version
Track 3: Extended 12" Club Mix.

Track 2 (7" version) or also known as 7" Promotional Version, is in my opinion the best version of Dreaming, and is only found on this promo CD.
