This first happened on the 1998 2-on-1 CD "Another Side of Hank Marvin", which was a reissue of the albums "Words And Music" and "All Alone With Friends" on one disc.
It wasn't the only change from the original vinyl albums.
Here's my database entry:

Text entry: Re-compiled 1998, to include the previously-45-only tracks Janine and The Trouble With Me Is You (45 remix). The original (LP) version of The Trouble With Me Is You and the LP track Bad Cop are left out in order to make room. Bought 29/08/98 at HMV, Bond Street (£6.99).
END
As you can see, there was another change: the 45 remix of The Trouble With Me is You was substituted for the original album version. This was the result of pressure from fans for those two vinyl-only tracks to be released on CD. I remember making a call to Chris Blair, who was doing the remastering for this 2-on-1 at Abbey Road. He told me that he had received two tapes of The Trouble... and wanted to know which was which. He played one of the versions over the phone to me and asked which it was. It was the hitherto vinyl-only single version.
"Another Side of Hank Marvin", as re-compiled, has a running time of 76:26. The track Bad Cop has a playing time of 03:58 and the original LP version of The Trouble With Me Is You comes to 03:10. It would not have been possible to fit in Bad Cop at all. The other track might just have been squeezed in - perhaps. Possibly not.
As far as I am aware, Bad Cop has only been made available on CD once, which was on the 1991 Pickwick CD reissue of "Words And Music" (Pickwick PWKS 4040), but it could have been released on a more recent collection which has escaped my attention. I bet Paul Wray knows...
