Other terms for a "radio edit"

• "Album edit" (Sometimes a different version from the 'radio edit')
• "F.M. Version"
• "LP edit"
• "Radio mix"
• "Radio version"
• "Single version" or "soundtrack version" (Typically used to reference singles taken from soundtracks, or lead singles from an album)

On occasions when songs have been completely re-worked or the instrumental arrangements have been changed slightly, the radio edit can be labeled in print with the remixer's name (e.g. Celine Dion's 2002 single of "I'm Alive", the radio version was referred to as the 'Humberto Gatica Radio Mix') rather than just "Radio Edit".
