On Radiohead's Pablo Honey, is the bonus track supposed to be exactly the same except for a drum sticks lead-in?

Yesterday's low morale post made me dig out my copy of Pablo Honey, and I found something surprising [Super Bouns Word Jumble!!! Hint: "Where is there more?" D I S N E I ]

The bonus track, the version of creep (acoustic), seems to be exactly the same as track 2, except with a one bar drum sticks 1 2 3 4 lead in. What's the deal? Have I got some rare mis-print CD that would be worth billions on the antiques road show? The CD case says "Made in Canada. Distributed by EMI Music Canada [...]" and I have it with me so I can provide serial numbers, etc if you tell me where to look.

Response by poster: So we meet again vile Mr. Censorship! I was confused because CDDB gave me the title as "creep (acoustic)".

In that case, anyone know where I can get that version of Creep what's in the low morale cartoon?

There is a Radiohead bootleg called "unplugged" that features the acoustic Creep and also includes the group taking the piss out of Oasis with a cheeky version of Wonderwall. (Also 2 versions of Fake Plastic Trees!) But, I suspect there's an official version out there somewhere.

American pressings (or, at least, the first American pressing) of Pablo Honey have the radio edit of Creep as a bonus track.

I believe the acoustic version in question is from the Australian My Iron Lung EP.
