I think normally the first single released is always the same as the album version. Its with subsequence single releases they need to remix them a bit, otherwise there is not incentive to buy the single if its exactly the same as the album version.

Lets go through the albums and see which lead singles are different to the album versions:
Please: Opportunities - Same (For those who say West End girls - Different)
Actually: Its a Sin - Same
Introspective - Domino Dancing - 7" was edited/12" was same
Behaviour - So Hard - Same
Discography - DJ Culture - Same
Very - Can You Forgive Her? - Same
Bilingual - Before - Different
Nightlife - I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more - Different
Release - Home And Dry - Different
PopArt - Miracles - Same
Fundamental - I'm with stupid - Same

So Hard was the lead single for Behaviour, not Being Boring.

Good point, and I can't imagine them releasing the 6 minute album track with long instrumental intro. That would have helped get them air play no end.

I can't remember how most of the different ones were different.
Old age is terrible.

"Before" has a slightly longer intro and then faded differently.
The single edit of "Minimal" has been cut by about 1 minute. It has a shorter intro and ending, and also only has "An empty box..." once.

Totally not true though. The first Opportunities single was an entirely different recording to the album version - which later became the fourth single (technically).
