An FYI for those who may be interested(!!!):
It appears that the original I.R.S. album mix (roughly six seconds longer than the "hit" mix as noted above) is currently available for purchase from Qobuz US. On the
mastering of the parent album available at their site, "We Got the Beat" is listed as running 2:39. The 30-second sample clip that plays appears to be the transition from 1st chorus into 2nd verse, and agrees with the descriptions noted above.
This occurrence is inconsistent with the digital versions of the album that currently appear on iTunes and Amazon MP3, where the track runs 2:30 and 2:33, respectively, and appears to match the commonly available single mix.
The copyright dates on the Qobuz version of the album are listed as 1981/2020, while the iTunes/Amazon version is 1981/2016.

Nice find! I didn't download it, but the sample definitely plays the original LP mix.

The original Stiff 45 from 1980 has strong reverb which is cranked up during the drum break at 1:50. The mix released in 1994 on that CD single is the same, but the vocals are dry, and it's not just noise reduction; it's a different mix.
