The album version [6:10] has a 54 second initial intro, followed by a second instrumental intro. Silent Running (UK Single Edit # 1) omits the 54 second initial intro, but has added vocals on the latter part of the secondary intro. Silent Running (UK Single Edit # 2) also omits the 54 second initial intro, but from then on it's the same as the album version so not an actual edit. Silent Running (US Single Edit) a shorter version of UK Single Version # 1. Silent Running (Video Version) a unique edit of UK Single Edit # 1 (a large portion has been removed towards the end). Thanks to Hector Cook for helping analysing and clarifying the exact difference between the various single versions.
