Well, after reading the stuff going on with Black Celebration, I happened to be looking at the tracklist for an album that I had posted, and, lo and behold, there was track missing from there as well! The album in question is
I had no idea that the song "Sweet F.A." was not present on the British release (which was the first release) but on the Capitol records release that I'm familiar with. It's actually from a previous album of theirs, so the US album got it put on here instead, because this album had their hits on it.
I agree that there is no need to annotate any of the current track listings for these differences, but it did get me thinking, how much stuff out there do people maybe miss from these track differences? Are there any other one's that you all can think of?
All of the Beatles albums prior to Sgt. Pepper were different in the U.S. than the U.K. So different that at least five albums had different titles and covers. Do the U.S. ones that shared more than half the songs with the analogous U.K. albums count? Revolver and Rubber Soul count and I'd say With the Beatles /Meet the Beatles do because they share the same cover art and the titles are similar.

When the Beatles albums were released on CD, they used the British versions and fixed the gaps with the Past Masters discs. Actually a pretty good fix for something that was a pretty big mess. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

Some US and UK versions are so different that they're barely even the same album. Or they're so different that it makes the difference between a blah album and a great one. Or they might take a perfectly good album and alter the tracks so much that it turns the album into a piece of shit. For instance, they leave out all the best tracks and replace them with crappy ones.
