So which mixes appear on which CD's? My brain hurts.


See above. The Magic Bus CD (my copies, anyway) has the "US" mix, in true mono (albeit transferred in stereo). Rarities has the same mix, but sped up, from disc, and in fake stereo.

The Sell Out DE should have the "common" UK mix, which has never been on CD.

I just listened the other day. It feels a little lightweight compared to the original mixes. IIRC that's one that is mixed a bit narrow too...
