I spent some time dissecting the various mixes of this song, and I think a database notation will need to be made to differentiate the stereo mixes on CD.
The following CDs have what I presume to be the original stereo mix:
Toga Rock
Time-Life Rock Party
Millennium Sixties Rock Party
Rockin' Down The Block
Only Rock & Roll 1965-1969
Night Beat
More Party Classics
Time-Life Classic Rock Vol. 11
These CDs have a stereo mix that was probably a later remix:
Sixties Rock Classics Vol. 1
Keep On Dancing
Anthology
Rock And Roll The First 50 Years
Billboard Top R&R Hits 1968
Son Of Frat Rock (also unedited and runs longer)
There is different, heavier reverb on the (presumed) later stereo remix, and it has a different feel then the other stereo mix. The difference can be easily spotted right from the intro when comparing the two. The later remix has a very "boomy" sound, whereas the earlier mix is much more subdued.
In terms of the various edits, there are 4 mixes that I'm aware of:
1. mono 45 mix - has two bad edits, occurring at 2:26 & 2:27, leaving an extra two beats in that shouldn't be there
2. stereo LP mix - has an obvious edit at 2:22, but at least keeps the beat of the song
3. stereo remix (full version) - no edits and runs 3:17
4. stereo remix/edit - edited to match the stereo LP mix with an obvious edit at 2:23

Re-issue 45s contained the stereo LP version summed to mono, which you'll also find on the CD Roulette 58003 Rock 'n' Roll Hits Of The 60's Vol. 1.
I was once told that the Collectables CD 6410 Hanky Panky/Mony Mony absolutely used the original LP tape. Seems to have more punch than other releases.
