Additional comments:

From Song To Woody to Rainy Day Women, compared to FISH, the songs are edited at start or end on the 50AC and BD70.

One Too Many Mornings tk 1 and tk 2: 2'19" instrumental ('tk 1') with vocals very far in the back, then the vocal ('tk 2') starts at 2'20": this is what is called 'tk 1' on the official CDs

I Threw It All Away: the Custom mix CD (2003) version has a different mix and includes about 14 seconds of talk and guitar strums at the beginning,
