2 versions of same song by same artist shows as "Album"

I just cannot figure out how itunes works when it comes to organizing albums and songs. I have 2 versions of the same song, both are singles by the same artist, but iTunes displays them as an "Album" with 2 songs (unknown album of course) and is using the same artwork for each. Wrong!! I have renamed, deleted album info, changed artwork for each, and iTunes just will not do what I want. iTunes shows the same artwork for both, and that's not what I want. Also, I do not want either of them labeled as "Albums"... and they should appear under "Artist" ONLY! Help!!

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

In iTunes everything (in Music) is an album, give the albums unique titles and they can each have their own artwork. E.g. <Song> [Radio Mix] and <Song> [Extended DJ XYZ Mix]. Complete the album, album artist, and artist field for every track and your library will behave better than it will if you leave fields blank.
