It's the "final/complete" version of the song. They also confirmed Sal did the drums on the mix, so it was officially recorded in the studio in '93 prior to his leaving. I always liked OotA better than the album version, and I kinda felt bad for liking a "remix" over Pete's original until I found out the remix wasn't a remix, but a re-recording because Pete wasn't completely happy with the original.
