No extra B that I see. A missing Q perhaps.

The standard CD mix is ever so slightly toned down from the UK mix. No longer is the opening track as powerful as the vinyl.
so....the CD sounds fine, the US LP is lousy and the UK LP is the best.

I think you're confusing mastering differences with mix differences. There is an old mix known are original 60s mix, and ans also one later mix known as the "Abkco mix". All issues on CD are said to be this later mix, as well as many of the LPs that came out after about 82 or 83.
I guess this thread died in a swirl of confusion over what the mix difference is, and what a mix vs. mastering really means. Ok, never mind.
