On youtube, I. Sandelin is credited as composer and there’s no mention on Bertrand’s work.
But for me that’s seems like a cover anymore and i think we could merge the works.
Am I wrong ?

As it sounds the same,
As there is no reference for Sandelin writing credits (he’s either recording performer or recording arranger):

We can remove Sandelin relationships and merge works.

These recordings are remixes of the original recording.

Now is a remix a cover?

I guess no.
Recording artist should be Plastic Bertrand, and the remixer (Sandelin / The Upstairs?) should just be a relationship.
