...it's too bad ABKCO didn't just append the singles (and "Ride On, Baby") to the UK albums, it would give us the best of both worlds on a single disc, but that would be atypically consumer friendly coming from them. (FWIW, I also prefer the mono mixes for both albums.)
Turns out, they're legally bound to keep the original album configurations as-is (whether it's the U.S. or U.K. version) per the infamous contract that got them ownership of the Stones catalog in exchange for severing their ties to the group.

Speaking of ABKCO, has anyone read the Allen Klein bio?

(I might have said this before on ILM but I recommend Harry Nilsson checking out this part of Bobby Darin's career.)

LOL ... I recommend Harry Nilsson fans checking out this part of Bobby Darin's career. I reckon Harry was already familiar with Bobby Darin.
