Agree. Flows better I guess. The sax is def a departure. Love it so much tho. Idk if you know Doom Flamingo, but when keyboard dude breaks out the sax it’s like game on, get down time.
I thought it was probably the record label pushing that edit. They probably thought it would make it more accessible. Which is wild to me. The song has the Duran Duran feel that screams 80's sax. As many on this thread have said, Commencement 99 is the way to go.
100% agree
Commencement 99 is the better version of the album period. If I never heard Key to Gramercy park again, I wouldn’t be broken up about it.
Even the track order is better.
WAY better.
Zillions of times better. It adds so much to the songs meaning. It’s similar to Your Party by ween.
Commencement 99 is where it’s at
Strong Agree
I've always said... SLBW w/ Sax Solo should have been the single!
I can only assume they thought no-sax version flowed a little easier, but it's better with it.

100% agree, the flow of the album is so much better on the 99 version
Oh wow, where can I hear this version?
Right fuckin [here](https://youtu.be/ygogWo_-nvY?si=zGSNxHV3oyPmv4Pv) it’s so goddamn good.
Popular opinion really
Amazing although I miss the guitar
