Yes it depended on the market. Our Canadian stock 45-rpm disc (and I think the Canadian promo) had the Edited Saleri Version (which sounds like what you heard today). If it was longer, it was the Extended Saleri Version, which I know was on the Canadian CD and cassette, but not the LP. I think the American releases were similar on A&M.

I'm guessing what you heard on the radio in 1986 was a remix which was adapted from both the Saleri and Video versions (the latter had the Austrian verses.) This remix was also sped up a tad, and a semi-tone higher in pitch. Then there was a shorter edit of this remix which was played on a few of the US countdown shows, including Scott Shannon's Top 30.

Today on Philly's 95.7 "Ben FM" I heard the version with the spoken history introduction, and no Falco singing/rapping in German -- aside from the "Amadeus, Amadeus" chant and a woman briefly singing in English towards the end, it was all instrumental.

That sounds about right, because it is really compressed sounding (even straight from the vinyl pressing). I made my own edit this week from the two original versions. It runs at the right speed, and the edits are somewhat better. And yes, the dynamic range is definitely improved.
