The original 3:05 edit on 45 rpm is not only tighter but has a much better mix, with much more punch to the guitars. I'm not sure if it's a different take rather than a remix\/edit, but I do know that it's the version you want in your collection, and you're not likely to find it other than on the original 45 or a reissue of that original version.
