What happened to Idol Pt 3?

[neilxt]

I have purchased 3 copies of Next now, vinyl, CD and MP3 but only the vinyl one, now long gone, had part 3 of Last of the Teenage Idols. It just came up on random play and you know... I miss it.

Does anyone know what happened to part 3 between vinyl and digital? Does anyone know where I can get a digital copy of the whole song?

It really spoils the structure of the song to be missing that cool little denouement.

Hi. I'm not sure what digital versions you have but on the official cd from 2002 (the 2cd version of Framed and Next) the song is complete. And also on the recently issued japanese (mini-LP sleeve) cd of Next.

Yeah, the first cd version I attained had pt. 3 missing, think it was a German press, straight back to the shop, got a refund. Then got it somewhere else, complete.
Like having bohemian rhapsody without the opera bit !
