Guns N' Roses - Paradise City - where is the radio edit?

I hope this is in the right place.

I worked at a local pop / rock station in the late 80s which played an edited version of Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City." It skipped the fast reprise.

I remember being so surprised to hear the extra material when the 45 played in a local jukebox!

I now run an all-80s radio station on the internet, & I'm trying to get and play all the proper radio edits of song which hit big on the pop charts.

Does anyone have, or know where I could get, a copy of this radio edit?

Isn't it weird, though, that sometimes when a song has two versions (an edited version, a re-recorded version, or whatever), you are just so used to one over the other?

Is there a big demand for people to hear shortened versions of popular songs? I understand if it's edited for content, but these radio edits were done so a 6-minute song can fit a 3-minute format.

It was probably only available as a radio-only promotional single... ya'd have to do some hunting to find one of 'em.
