- The cassette versions of these tracks are now available as part of 8 track download release “Snobbery & Decay (Showtime)”.
On the download the cassette version of ‘Snobbery & Decay (That's Entertainment)’ version name is renamed ‘That’s Cabaret!’, ‘(Theme From) Snobbery & Decay’ version name is ‘Cassetted’ and ‘Poison’ is renamed ‘Strong Poison (Cassetted)’. 
My promo vinyl edition is ZTT label not Island Records. Edited and Distributed in Spain by Ariola Eurodisc.
Snobbery and Decay (thats entertainment) is a great classic 80s "breakdown" mix where you get to hear all the instrumentation by itself and the layers of production revealed, also has a nice sample (at 0:20 ) of Joan Rivers from her album https://www.discogs.com/Joan-Rivers-Can-We-Talk/release/3818855- Note that at least in Apple Music the first two tracks have switched audio contents.
referencing Showtime (Snobbery & Decay (That's Entertainment..)) (12", 45 RPM, Single, Stereo) 12ZTAS 28
Snobbery & Decay (That's Entertainment) actually appears to be 2 separate versions:
0 - 5:55 is the remix
5:56 - 9:43 is the 7" version (or LP version)
There appears to be a break of 1.5 - 2.5 seconds. Perhaps it was intended this way.referencing Snobbery & Decay (Moonlighting Mix) (The Herbie (From Mastermind) Mixes) (12", Promo) CT 01
It's strange that the record is labelled as the Moonlighting Mix, as it's The Naked Civil mix that has samples from the Moonlighting TV series in it.
