The Australian and UK releases for some differing exclusive extras.
NOTE:
Standard practice in the UK at the time had films being submitted to the BBFC prior to any theatrical release starting with the script and working up to the final edits.
In the March 1970 submission, The Ballad of Tam Lin had one word censored: At 22:47 (on the UK BD) the word 'fucking' has been removed from the dialogue line "I shall be in the fucking prime of my life".
No known version of the film that has been released has ever had the word restored and this includes all DVD and BD releases. Hence the version we have today is not considered cut being a prerelease change requested by the BBFC.
