I never understood why the record company cut out a few songs for the US version of Aftermath. I can see dropping Mother's Little Helper in favor of the "big single" (not that it helps the album, just that it makes "business sense"), but why cut out some of the best songs?

I will argue that, in rare cases, the US versions (bastardizationz?) improved on the UK releases. Skylarking, for one.
