This is, of course, the result of the maximum playing time of a CD being greater then that of an LP. For some reason the less discriminating believe that every possible minute available has to contain something or they are not getting value. It's as if one had a book that runs to 500 pages but they have to print 800 simply because they can! Presumably in this analogy those extra 300 pages would consist of the author's crossings out :-)
So we suffer alternative takes or other studio garbage that the original producer has had the wisdom to reject. Offhand I can only think of one alternative take on a CD that adds much to my former knowledge of the piece. Mostly at the very best they are listen to once and never again. Sometimes they are not even complete takes e.g. the band starts then it all falls apart after a minute and they stop. What is the value to the listener in that?
There is also the issue of the original sequence of tracks which may have required some thought on the producer's behalf. Placing alternative takes in the midst of this is indeed blasphemy.
