There are three different remixes named "Life's What You Make It (Extended Version)".
Two different UK 12"s were released with different remixes, both named "Extended Version" and with no durations printed to distinguish them apart,
• 12 EMI 5540 (opens in a new tab) & 12 EMID 5540 (opens in a new tab) - remixed by Dennis Weinreich ~ (8:16 to 8:26 depending on who measured it)
• 12 EMIX 5540 (opens in a new tab) - remixed by Tim Friese-Greene ~ (6:54 to 7:01).
• 12" editions outside of the UK/America often carry a third remix, also titled, "Extended Version" ~ (6:36 to 6:40), as on theItalian 12" (opens in a new tab), and these rarely contain any duration nor do they credit the remixer, but has been assigned to Dennis Weinreich but it is indeed a second mix of his and not an edit/shortened mix of his 8:16~8:26 mix on the UK 12 EMI 5540.
The US (opens in a new tab)/Canada retail 12"s have the Tim Friese-Greene remix (12 EMIX 5540) on the A side and has the remix title as "Extended Dance Version" on the cover and "Extended Mix" on the label. Many subsequent reissues of the track has used "Extended Mix" instead of the more ambiguous and original UK title.
