All fans of the "(Forever) Live And Die" 12" Mix from OMD are aware of the strange edit that occurs at 2:34. I found a FLAC rip of the "bootleg" 2CD set "The Remix Collection" https://www.discogs.com/OMD-The-Remix-C ... se/1368333 from 2006 that appears to have an unedited version! There is approximately 13 seconds of audio that appears to have been cut out of the officially released mix. The "Shame" CDS https://www.discogs.com/Orchestral-Manœuvres-In-The-Dark-Shame/release/520640 and apparently all vinyl releases have the oddly edited mix.
While "The Remix Collection" seems to be a bootleg, the quality of the sound is for the most part amazing. The "(Forever) Live And Die" track in particular sounds absolutely flawless. So I took the 13 seconds of audio that had been edited out, EQ'd it to match the "Shame" CDS version, and edited it back into place. May not be that big a deal for most, but I think it flows much more naturally now.
So here is my "repaired" version in WAV format:
OMD "(Forever) Live And Die (12" Mix/Unedited)" 6:07
