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.
