Hey,
I was thinking of making a little list with the explanation of all the different editions of songs. Please add more to the list if i've forgot something, and I will keep it updated
Mix = A version made by the artist(s) of the original.
Remix = Is an alternative version of a song, different from the original version, by a 3rd party.
Edit = A 3rd party or the maker of the original makes small adjustments to the song. Normally it keeps the same struckture and sounds, but just organized a little differently.
Dub = Reduced the vocal or removed completely. Sometimes dub is an instrumental mix. The same song as the original, but without vocals. The dub version is more focused on the rythm.
Remake = An artist re-creates the song. The artist produces the whole song over again, without using any samples from the original song.
Rework, Reconstruction, Revision, Remode, Remodeled, Re-Harsh = I'm not 100% sure about this one, but I would say it's something between edit and remix. Often used as a little more "fancy" release of a "remix"
Outro Mix, Intro Mix = Speaks for it self. A mix made by the producer with a version that suits well for intros or outros in for example a mixtape.
Instrumental = A song where the vocals are removed, without any other changes.
Acapella = Only vocals
Original Mix = The original version
Radio Edit = A short version for the radio. Radio stations are not interested in a 8 minute long song, with a long intro and outro.
12" Club Mix = Same as club mix, but released as a vinyl?
Vocal Mix/Vox = A mix with extra/more vocal
Mashup = A mix of 2 or more songs. Mashed/mixed together to 1 song.
Bootleg = A bootleg can be a mashup of 2 or more songs, without the permission of the artists to release it.
It's not a complete list, and please correct me if I'm wrong

Pretty accurate descriptions i'd say.
Not entirely sure how true this is, but I think the 12" vinyl mix may include more sub-bass than original mix - reason for this is due to the grooves in vinyl records allowing more accurate frequencies below 100hz.
I could be wrong though.

Isn't White Label the term used for unreleased or unsigned (to a label) tracks? I've mainly been wondering where the term comes from..
And a bootleg doesn't have to be a mash-up, does it? Laidback Luke for example makes loads of remixes of known tracks and they're always labeled bootlegs...

i was just wondering cause often i see it in charts instead of the label... /CDR
So i guess it's something like a whitelabel vinyl only digital?
sorry, but that's just been buggin' me...
