Talking Heads - And She Was

I compared the 45 to the version I have on CD (which is the LP version). The mixes didn't seem that different to me. On the LP version, the hi-hats are louder, and on the remix single, some guitars and keyboard are louder (although I was hearing a very compressed version, so some of it could have been due to the compression). And of course, 5 seconds or so were edited out near the end. Can anyone tell me what the major differences are between the remix and the original - that is, if I missed anything? I'll probably buy a lossless version on qobuz. Does anyone know if it's lossless anywhere? Some of these older digital releases that show up on Qobuz, 7 Digital, etc. are actually lossy.

Thanks Aaron. Good to know. When I A-B'd the 45 and LP, it didn't seem like a new mix or what is typically thought of as a remix (involving new instruments) - just a few instruments raised and one or a few lowered. (And 5 seconds removed near the end.) Is that truly the case? Or are there some bigger picture elements I'm missing? (This question is for anyone :)

Thanks. I bought the WAV from qobuz earlier this afternoon when you confirmed it's lossless. This song is one of those cases where I like both mixes :)

Yeah, the remix has major echo on the drums. If you can't hear that, you
should get your hearing checked. Reverb galore.

Since the New Mix got significant airplay on MTV, and radio barely touched it, would it be fair to say if a listener from the 80s had heard a version, it was probably the New Mix on the video on MTV rather than the radio?
