I have a copy of this German LP, but it doesn't have this "album edit with intro". It starts with the beats, but it is neither the U.S. LP version nor the 12" mix. It starts like the German Single version but goes on further and clocks at 6:09 despite the 5:38 written on label. Can anyone that owns a German pressing confirm it has the 5:38 version? If not, then where did the 5:38 version with effects intro came from? And if yes, then we have German pressings with different versions??

The intro in this German Album is so different 5:38 minutes vs 6:27 from the extend version Album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOPNNtWfM_Y
