I'd say for consistency these should all be only the UK albums though.
Well I see what you mean but only the first two have separate track listings and I've seen it be debated whether Aftermath's US or UK version is superior. I thought it would be interesting to get BEA's take on it.

Sounds good, Cuba! For that debate to be complete though I think we should include this...
"Flowers was dismissed as a rip-off of sorts by some critics, since it took the patchwork bastardization of British releases for the American audience to extremes, gathering stray tracks from the U.K. versions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons, 1966-1967 singles (some of which had already been used on the U.S. editions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons), and a few outtakes. Judged solely by the music, though, it's rather great. Almost every track is strong, so if you're serious about your Stones, don't pass this by just because a bunch of people slag it as an exploitative marketing trick (which it is). There's some outstanding material you can't get anywhere else, and the album as a whole plays very well from end to end".- Allmusic
Emphasis mine. Has always been one of my faves. I got it for free (along with all the other 60s Stones albums) on vinyl from a legendary record store named Jerry's in Pittsburgh that was culling its vinyl in the early 2000s to make room for cds! (If only they had waited a few more years. LOL.) I never even realized their was this controversy surrounding it until now. 🤣
