Admittedly I often find dub versions to be superior to the originals.

Even the first version of the CD added "When I Needed You" which is one of their best ever B-sides.

Wire's "ManScape" has more tracks on than the LP version. Including the 'title track' "Life in the Manscape" which is the lead/single...
Hmm, what else.

Generally, there's loads of cool bonus tracks on jazz rereleases, but usually they're just alternate takes that it's hard to get all that excited about, so they don't really feel like they improve the "album" as such.

Soft Cell- Non-stop erotic cabaret- I have an issue with 10! incredible bonus early singles & b-sides not on the album- it doesn't have all their great songs, but the 20 tracks make it a better collection than any other "best ofs".

If this were fifteen years ago, I might have voted for the Cure's addition of Carnage Visors to the Faith CD, but now I'm too old to care. :-)

Fragile and Close to the Edge are improved by versions of "America", I think Yes does a great job with those songs (I've never heard the original)
I like the bonus tracks on BOC's Secret Treaties as well. "Boorman the Chauffeur" should have made the original cut.
― Bill Magill, Thursday, 27 September 2007 13:51 (sixteen years ago) link
The Yes version of "America" is great although the original is great too and you should definitely hear it (and the entire "Bookends" for that matter).
To the original thread: "Ringo" obviously doesn't suffer from having "It Don't Come Easy" added at the end.

"Just Like Heaven" is a pretty much perfect added closer to 'You're Living All Over Me' by Dinosaur Jr.
I kinda think the b-side ballad "When A Blind Man Cries" really works at the end of Deep Purple's 'Machine Head' too.

The bonus tracks on the 90s CD reissue of Richard Hell’s Blank Generation make it flow much better as an album. His junkie crooner version of “All the Way” is a perfect album closer

dua lipa : both albums are massively improved via their deluxe/extra tracks editions.i listen to the 'club future nostalgia' version a lot more than the standard album.same re the expanded ellie goulding/halcyon days album.

I listen to Wendy & Bonnie's acoustic demos of songs that were left off 'Genesis' probably more than the actual album. The 2CD version with the demos of the album tracks is more than i need.

I didn’t see Synchronicity mentioned upthread but that’s an obvious one for me. “Murder by Numbers” is comfortably better than 3-4 of the album tracks.
