I'd not heard this before but apparently 'Making Love' was originally 20 minutes long when Jim offered it to Air Supply, and they persuaded him to cut it to 5:
'In Michael Hill's chronicle and the commentary, they discuss how they had to convince Jim Steinman to cut 'Making Love Out of Nothing At All' from 20 to 5 minutes'
Maybe rubbish, but I reckon a lot of Jim's songs are probably around 20 minutes when he first writes them?
Wonder if a demo exists of this extended version??
