The Best Of (Masters of Rock)(1970) link
The Pink Floyd (Japan Promo LP)(1970)
Relics (UK Vinyl Mix)(1971) link
Relics (UK 8-Track)(1971) link

This is described as "remastered" and claims to source most of it from original sources. AcoustIDs are unique here but audibly match up perfectly to originals. CD4, from the 8-track, has all the tracks a little slower so everything plays longer.
