It's two different things what's "announced" and what is visible for the buyer. Drovers Road perfectly sums up the whole mess regarding it's character of bonus song or standard song. Depends on what?
Compare it with the way it is done with One Deep River and then look at all running orders of all "versions" of DTRW. Nobody should have to check the press release first to understand the status of a song on a release.

Excuse Dutchessy, my last post on this off topic.
Right now I did a search on Amazon Spain and it displays various formats, one that only says the title, which has 14 tracks, another that says deluxe, that has 16 tracks, and the LP version, that has 13, only the standard appears on sale by Amazon, the rest by other sellers.
I agree that is a mess and a confussion for buyers, specially the thing about "Drovers road" that was out of the LP version as far as I recall, was even outside of the standard cd version in North America, but that happens also with STP, who had "One more matinee" on all versions except the North American, that one had "Do America" instead, which was included in the UK version but not in the rest of European countries, and the European and UK editions both had One more matinee! So "Do America" was a bonus in the UK respect to the European, "One more matinee" was a bonus respect to the American... maybe it was a little mess as when you went to your record shop, even online, you only were offered the release assigned to your country...
I prefer that the deluxe version has two cds, as it's easiest to identify, but probably they thought that do a two cds version just to add two songs was too expensive to produce in comparation with adding it to the original cd and label it in the online shops as deluxe, maybe it even had a sticker on the plastic envelope saying that it was deluxe, I don't remember...
However, I agree it was confusing, but in the end even confusing, the fact is that both "Rear view mirror" and "Every heart in the room" were bonus tracks
