Radio mixes are often really just radio edits when it would be likely stations would do their own edits otherwise. Sometimes they are just better, more compelling mixes because somebody didn't like what the original sounds like on the air. Other times they solve mono compatibility issues or, as somebody else said, just have the vocal up a little more.

It's been common practice since I began in 1963.
