The King Of The Mountain remix known as Nix Mix is I (think) the single version which the radio stations play.  Listen to the single compared to the version on the album and you will find it's a different mix.  Needless to say it was remixed by Nick Launey.

Also Power And The Passion and Dead Heart had shorter versions released to radio stations... although radio stations now only play the studio versions.

I have 3 remixes of Power And The Passion...Glitch, Special Version and Special Dub.

I believe a few of those Beds Are Burning ones do double up on names.

  IIRC, there were seven different remix titles for Beds, but only actually
  four different versions.

  "Glitch Baby Glitch" is also a remix of Power and the Passion, but different
  to the "Special Version"

  There was also a "Long Road Train Mix" and a "Short Road Train Mix" of
  Truganini, and a "Food On The Table" mix of Blue Sky Mine.

  White Skin Black Heart has a few different ones, too. There was one on the
  single when it came out, the name of which eludes me for the moment ("Rusty
  Wheel" or something?). The mix on 20000 Watt RSL is also different to the
  Redneck Wonderland one, but it didn't get a snazzy title.
