I assume it, like the OSD mix, is placed on side two because if they're playing by strict chronological release only, that's when it came out - as a freebie with the Greatest Hits album that LGA was released to support.

Yep. That one only filtered out at the end of 1984 with the initial UK/OZ 2xLP release of "The Collection."

I looked it up at Discogs, both of you, thanks anyway

This goes for both Serenade (Special Re-Mix) & One Small Day (Final Mix) ---- New (mid-late 1984) Remixes or previously unreleased mixes? (1982 resp. late 1983)
