This is the extended album version of 99 Red Balloons. (It's worth noting that this is the ENGLISH version.) It's not a bad cut, but it's also pretty long, with a lot of instrumental interludes that sort of make the song seem ill-paced. If you really like the synth hooks, you'll like the song, but fans of the politically-charged lyrics might find this version less than satisfying. As far as I know, this is the only English version of this song currently on Amazon.

I wanted the original English single release of the song, but apparently it's not available to buy as a single. Instead, this is a lengthy, techno remix with a lot of extra electronic crap that changes the original flavor of the song. I put it on my iPod playlist of favorite all-time rock songs anyway, because the original "99 Red Balloons" belongs there. And this techno version grows on you after a while. All the original vocals and instrumentals remain, and if the techno padding doesn't bother you, it's still a great tune.

The sample sounded fine, but when I bought the song, it came in some weird style with extra beats! I want it replaced with the NORMAL version, which is what I thought I was paying for!

99 Red Balloons
This is a great song but not the original version I'd hope for. So I'm a little disappointed to say the least will keep looking,.

Not the version I was expecting.
This is not the regular English version, but a longer dance remix (which is not as good in my opinion).

Also Duped
I also downloaded this not knowing it's a remix, and not a good one in my opinion. There's nothing in the description to alert you to the fact that you're not buying the original.
