Yes, all of them are the same edit but from different transfers at different times, hence the very slight speed differences. I think the same issues happened with other older tracks too.

Tracks 1, 3 and 5 are identical to the 2001 remasters indeed.
The 7'' Edit is a tiny bit slower than the 1996 3'' CD when compared side by side, and the fade is like a second longer (you hear the last "ooh, yeah" more clearly. It's remastered.
The PA 7'' Edit looks close to the 3'' CD too, but also a tiny bit slower, although the 1987 YCD promo version is even slower (in my software at least). Not really noticeable unless you play them side by side.
Here are the 2023 version/1996 CD/1987 YCD versions of PA starting at the same time:

And the ending of each track, no longer synchronized:

It's a bit of a mess indeed!

I just wanted to say on behalf of Infinity a HUGE thank you to @bertrandfor such a worthwile cause and to the ENTIRE community here for such generous donations. 
Now more than ever with America swinging further and further to the right - services like this are needed more so than ever for the young and vulnerable...the amount raised is really amazing.
I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been sharing such rare items - @Dee Jay AI Studios@Dazedmadonna@frxasaca - plus so many more - @DanK for the amazing work with the video edits, @Blue Jeanfor the incredible Sex Book documentary -  the community is not a community without moments like these.
Everyone brings something to the community and I am immensely proud and it validates my decision in taking over this community for everyone.
Thank you and thank you to the staff, you are all amazing!
 

That "Power Of Goodbye" remix package is so controvertial. I really like the Fabian one, which nobody else here has even mentioned :o

Crossing fingers for the Vikram Cybercut to finally appear on digital.....

Tracks 67 and 68 are the full show in WAV as heard on TV. Perfect quality if you want it.

The LP Version and Extended aren't as loud as the 2001 CD so I'm not sure they are identical. Probably different masters too.

I think all of them four are the original masters but a little bit boosted - 2023 remasters. They’re not the 2021 “35th” remasters either.

There is still hope for the 7'' Remix of Open Your Heart if they also release it as a single, fingers crossed

I didn't say "fanmade" but "home made", i.e done internally by someone other than the producer of the mix for a specific release. Tour versions are obviously a different case, and IC is completely remixed, not edited down from the original versions so that does not count. "Celebration" has home made edits, and this RSD release will do too. Nothing wrong with that though, it's just a matter of preference.

Most of these edits were not produced by the remixers for the original singles, so I consider them home-made for this release. Pretty much like some of the edits they did on FEL.

What we need to do is ask them somehow to release digital versions of the WTG EP and the upcoming American Life one. It feels incomplete to not have them when they have great content while the rest is being released.
