High Rise from PXR5 CD

[Captain Bl@ck]

I have a copy here of PXR5 on reel-to-reel tape from February 1978, labelled
Office Copy.  The version of High Rise is not the one on the vinyl at least.
Curiously the running order is also different, with PXR5 being the opening
track with an extended intro and outro, followed by Robot then High Rise.
The remainding tracks are the same as side 1 of the LP.

One wonders if High Rise was reworked/remixed at the last minute for the
vinyl, and the original version has been used on the CD release?
