Notes
Although the original 10-minute version appeared on both the Into Battle release in 1983 and the Who's Afraid album in 1984, "Moments In Love" wasn't released globally as a commercial single until 1985, when the song was featured on the Pumping Iron II: The Women soundtrack.
Reissues followed in 1986 and 1987, in some markets. Copyright dates indicate the edits & remixes were prepared in 1984.
Singles generally featured shortened edits of the album version. The 12-inch remixes were "Moments In Love (Beaten)" and the slower "Love Beat".
On the Daft compilation, the former was retitled "Love", and an edit of the latter was called "(Three Fingers Of) Love". 12-inch and CD singles also included an edit of "Beat Box (Diversion One)", listed on the releases either as "Beatbox Diversion 10" or just "Beat Box". In the US, "Moments In Love" was later paired with "Close (To The Edit)" as a double-A-sided reissue, accounted for separately in Discogs.
The 1999/2000 remixes were triggered by Rob Searle's bootleg mix "Moments In Time" and would eventually end in a cancelled release under the 'Vision' moniker. These can be found here: Moments In Love (Rob Searle's Anthem Mix)

"A Time For Fear (JJ’s 12” Remix)" sounds SO MUCH like early 90s Coil it's uncanny.- From ZTTs post on Facebook 09. July 2021:
Share Moments in Love with 808 State, and Art Of Noise
The Dream Department at ZTT Records continue their July deep-dive into the special projects and covert assignments from the world of 808 State, with Moments In Love - The Massey Mixes:
https://808state.lnk.to/MomentsInLoveMassey
Following last week's a digital edition of the US 12" of Bombadin from 808's Tommy Boy Records slipstream, this week sees a digital release of a 12" originally scheduled for 10 February 1994 in which 808's Graham Massey remixes Art of Noise's genre-bending classic (and current Tik Tok slow dance anthem), Moments in Love.
Although the 12" never made it to the stores, the tracks here later appeared on ZTT's The Art of the 12" compilation series. Massey Mixes One and Three were both included on A Promotion Of A Way Of Life (The Art Of The 12" Volume Two) released on 20 February 2012, while Massey Mix Two was included on A Soundtrack For Living (The Art Of The 12" Volume Three) released almost exactly two years later on 10 February 2014.
The worlds of 808 State and Art of Noise had already collided a couple of years before, of course, when Graham Massey completed three remixes (only one of which has so far been released) of Legs, for the Art of Noise's China Records era album The FON Mixes. And the Moments remixes were undertaken at the same time that 808 State remixed another iconic ZTT single, Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s Two Tribes.
For this new digital release, all three tracks have been remastered by Graham with Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road Studios. Listen/hear:
1. Moments In Love - Massey Mix One: 00:05:39
2. Moments In Love - Massey Mix Two: 00:03:51
3. Moments In Love - Massey Mix Three: 00:05:11
"808 State of Art Of Noise in Love" was packaged and brochured by The Dream Department at Zang Tuum Tumb (Ian Peel, Philip Marshall) and is Number 14 in the Definition Series.

The Beaten version of Moments in Love is easily the most 'what is the name of this track' track I play out. A fantastic version of an already great track.- Sublime music. Who doesn’t love Moments in Love? It’s a pretty purple record and sounds really good too
referencing Moments In Love (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) 12ZTPS 02
Moments In Love has been around since 1982. The opening part of the song was used on the UK's Channel 4 rolling promo video in late 1982 leading up to the launch in November 2nd.referencing The Tortoise And The Hare (Featuring Moments In Love Beatbox And LoveBeat) (Cassette, Single) CTIS 109
claims to be Dolby encoded (presumably Dolby B) but i'm honestly not sure. my copy sounds extremely muffled with Dolby turned on.
with Dolby B turned off, it doesn't have that characteristic overcompressed, treble-boosted sound you normally get from an unprocessed Dolby B cassette.
my deck is able to properly decode other Dolby B cassettes, so i don't suspect it's the culprit here. maybe my copy is just out of whack.referencing The Tortoise And The Hare (Featuring Moments In Love Beatbox And LoveBeat) (Cassette, Single) CTIS 109
Agreed with DogWater, why this wasn't released in its full glory on AWHYDWMB,G can't be anything but a curator's missed opportunity. The transition here between the last M in L segments is unparalleled. A minor and perhaps only a thing for us w the cassette to notice/care about, but the cassette version remains the ultimate rendition of what is Moments In Love.- Edited 2 years ago

Why release a 12" of MOL but only put the 7" version on it?
Should have put the original long version and perhaps a nice remix for this useless rerelease.
Looks like a blatant cash grab.
