I've always wondered what qualifies as a "remix." The exact same audio tracks, but mixed differently? What about those hip-hop or electronic remixes of songs that sound like they are using totally different instrumentation? Like, a guitar riff is replaced by some synth-sounding thing playing the same melody? Did they replace the track, or just feed it through enough effects that it sounded like that?
When it comes to "Back to School," even the vocals during the chorus are clearly distinct from those in "Pink Maggit," so it's clear they didn't just sample the chorus from that song and stick the new verses around it. But are the instrument tracks for the chorus the same between both songs, but with more distortion added? Or or those new takes, as well? I dunno, I haven't directly compared the songs side-by-side and listened to this album, like, twice in my life.
