The original mix & Prime Mover remix were never released digitally - they were only available as a very limited pressing vinyl as per the Discogs link. This was confirmed years ago by Rachel Auburn (Breather) when people were asking if they could possibly be included as part of the planned Tidy Trax label USB's, but they couldn't as they were never licensed to Tidy and the DAT was no longer available. Only the Euphony & Ben Kaye remixes were available digitally through Tidy.

A couple of points to note on the DL link above:

The tracks tagged as "Original" & Prime Mover remix are vinyl rips - both likely sourced at some point from YouTube rips as they match in length, crackles at the end, etc. Also, of those 2 tracks, neither of them is the "original" mix - they are both the Prime Mover remix. The track tagged as "original" is actually a pitched up version of the Prime Mover remix. That's probably because that version was the one included, as a vinyl rip, on an old online Tidy compilation album, before they changed distributors.

For reference -

If needed i can upload the rips i did of my own copy of the vinyl back in '09 (via Audacity in 320k).

i've included the original from the goodgreef digital release, the prime mover comes from a site closed long time ago that i don't remember, but isn't a vinyl rip (for me and my ears)

the 2005 remixes are all from deezer

As i said, it was confirmed by Rachel herself that there was no digital master of either the original or Prime Mover remix. I should know as I was one of the people who asked when Tidy were putting their USB's together a few years ago. The only versions out there are vinyl rips, including the version you're referring to on the Goodgreef album. It's not unheard of for labels to use scaled / recorded vinyl rips of old tracks on digital compilation releases - which is what happened there.

The XTC file, will be one of their old vinyl rip specials. Record the track from vinyl, run it through software to take out as much vinyl noise as possible, export it and claim it's a digital file. They had form for that many years ago on some old hardcore releases that were claimed to be "DJ CD promos", but were obviously not when you ran the file through audacity (or similar) and could see obvious unbalanced left / right channels and / or low volume levels typical of an average vinyl rip run through software.

I personally have the original vinyl to compare both mixes and will once again reiterate that both tracks (with the exception of the 2005 remixes) are vinyl rips. You can hear hissing at the end of both and crackling just before the track ends. The track lengths of the two you uploaded also match exactly to the YouTube links above.

If you want further confirmation, listen to the intro of the Prime Mover remix you uploaded, then listen to the intro of the track tagged as the "original" mix. You'll hear they're both exactly the same track but the version tagged as the "original" is pitched up by 10%. Then listen to the YouTube links - you'll see they're the same as the versions you uploaded.
