Or should I look for a vinyl rip?

Isn't what you are calling the 1987 version the one that was released on The Circle & The Square? The original version was released in 1983 and clocked in at 3:30. The 1987 Remix is listed as 4:26 which is 1 second short of what is on the 1986 album. The album version is quite a bit more robust than the 1983 version.

I don't know..maybe

I was going by a review on Amazon:

What a pleasant surprise to finally find this album on CD and what a disappointment at the same time. Guess, fans of the album will very much appreciate its reissue, but I was hoping for the 1987 single version of Chenko to be included among the extra tracks. Well, it is not. Instead you find the 83 single version here, that has been available on various samplers already (not that much of a surpise given it had been originally released on Cherry Records, before the band changed labels). So hoping for a proper CD version of Chenko 87 is over for the time being and I will treat this album the way the record industry treats the 87 version of Chenko - just forget it. Too bad that the album version is not really exciting either and the rest of the album surely not my taste.

1986 album version: Chenko (Tenka-Io) 4:27
1987 7" remix: Chenko (Tenka-Io) (remix) approx 4:21
1987 12" remix Chenko (Tenka-io) (No Reservations Mix) 6:48
