As far as I know, there has never been a public statement on why IKINW used a different mix on CD. When I bought the old (original) CD, I thought maybe they just pulled the wrong tape, since they also substituted the 45 edit of "Sara" for the original album version. I assumed that when they issued the deluxe remaster of Tusk that they would correct IKINW and use the original mix, but that wasn't the case. When the deluxe edition was done that way, I could only surmise that the band or Lindsey preferred the alternate mix since they seem to keep a pretty tight rein on their releases.
For those looking for the correct mix of IKINW in digital form, it's on the HDTracks download version of Tusk.
