Are there mix differences between the LP and 45 of Turning Japanese by the Vapors? Can you edit the 45 version from the LP?

It sounds like the same mix to me and yes, the LP version
can be edited to recreate the 45.
Unfortunately, I don't have my notes on where the edit
points are, but I do recall at least one edit at around the
:43 point that cuts straight to the chorus. It was one of
those edits that looked like it wasn't going to work but
sounded fine in practice.

To create the 45 edit, remove the 72 beats from 0:42.6 to 1:06.2 from the LP version on EMI's Living In Oblivion Vol. 1 (1993). The edit is on a snare, and actually cuts off a portion of the word at 0:43, but sounds quite natural once it's finished.
The LP version on the 2-fer Vaporized (1997) sounds quite close to Living In Oblivion Vol. 1.
The LP version on Priority's Rock Of The '80s Vol. 3 (1992) is too loud and clips a lot. The same analog transfer is found on Richard Blade's Flashback Favorites Vol. 4 (1994).
The LP version on Rhino's Just Can't Get Enough Vol. 2 (1994) clips a lot. There are digital clones on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 22 1980-1983 (1997; 3 dB quieter) and Time-Life's 2-CD Modern Rock Vol. 2 1980-1981 (1999; 2.5 dB quieter).
The LP version on Rhino's 7-CD Like Omigod (2002) is a little quieter than Just Can't Get Enough Vol. 2, and clips a little less, but otherwise sounds close to Just Can't Get Enough Vol. 2.
The LP version on EMI Australia's 5-CD Eighties Complete Vol. 1 (1997) is probably from higher-generation source tapes but doesn't sound all that bad.
The LP version on EMI UK's Time To Remember 1980 (1997) is compressed and has a brassy-sounding EQ. Avoid.
I prefer the sound on Living In Oblivion, but Vaporized and the Rhino and Time-Life discs also sound OK.

Not sure if this means much, but I have the original 45 (on UA?) and under
the title in parenthesis is (Edit). To me, that means the 45 version is purely
an edit of the LP version. I prefer the 45 version, it seems to flow much
better, but maybe that is not what they intended.
