Comfortably Numb (6:49 album version, including "Is There Anybody Out There")

~ Recording by Pink Floyd

Annotation

The early 1980s CDs use this longer (6:49) edit which includes all of the "Time To Go", door knocks, and "Is There Anybody Out There" film bits left on the front of this track. This leaves a shorter (0:51) Bring the Boys Back Home in front of it on the CD

The shorter edit of Comfortably Numb is 6:24 and starts directly with the music leaving the film bits attached to the end of a longer (1:27) "Bring the Boys Back Home"
