Interesting analysis. I think I've noted on here in the past that, in the early '80s, most commercial singles were edited although longer versions were sometimes available on promo singles.
By the mid-late '80s, it had reversed. Quite often a short promo-edit was available to radio but the LP version was on the commercial 45. Geffen, for example, did that quite a bit. |

Rhiannon was an edit (instrumental bridge just before the final chorus was edited off the single version). Maybe you're thinking of "Say You Love Me". |

While "Rhiannon" was an edit, there's extra guitar work during some points of the song on the 45, so you can't correctly replicate the 45 from the LP. I don't know if I'd call it a remix or an overdub. |

It was both remixed and overdubbed. Listen to the full-blown harmonies on the single remix of the word "sky" in the near-ending line "taken by the sky". Listen to the lame "sky" on the original LP version.
