Actually it omits almost all the b-sides from that era. The reissues seemed to be trying to cover the songs that weren't either released on Lipstick Traces or the 10th anniversary reissues. As almost all the b-sides were on the 10th anniversary edition I think they decided to leave them off this one.
The only reason I think they double dipped for No-one Knows What It's Like to Be Me & Black Garden is they were on the original Japanese release but not on the CD1 of the 2CD reissue which just copied the 10th anniversary CD1.
I was just going through them to re-rip some tracks and I'd forgotten what amazing packages they are, best looking versions of the first 8 albums and so glad I stumped up the money for them at the time.
