I encounter that problem frequently. To get around it, I go into the Spotify app, pull up the artist, then scan the albums looking for the version I want. When I find it, I note how the song is titled and then use that exact phrasing for subsequent requests. It's a pain to have to jump through these hoops. I wish song requests would default to the original release (or remasters). I hate it when I get live or re-recorded versions when requesting songs.
