Additonal songs replaced?

I have noticed differences in the end credits on both the 2001 DVD release from Goodtimes Home Video and the 2004 DVD release from Universal Home Video. As some people already know, the songs Brown Sugar and I'm A Man were replaced on a majority of VHS, laserdisc, and DVD releases, with the exception of an early VHS release from MCA Home Video and the 2001 DVD release from Goodtimes Home Video. Someone has indicated the laserdisc release from Universal also contains the original songs. Brown Sugar and I'm A Man are not listed in the end credits of the 2004 Universal DVD, but are listed in the end credits of the 2001 Goodtimes DVD. There are two additonal songs that are listed in the end credits of the 2001 Goodtimes DVD but not on the 2004 Universal DVD. They are:

A Man and a Woman

Last Call
Performed by The Crusaders

I am guessing the two songs were replaced, much like Brown Sugar and I'm A Man.

In the versions I know the original songs are listed in the end credits but in my VHS recorded by Studio Universal I may have seen LAST CALL as song listed in the credits,am I right or not?
All the other songs listed are the original ones but I am sure I read this song's title.

I'll check my VHS release from Universal, but the 2004 Universal DVD definitely omitted Brown Sugar, I'm A Man, A Man and a Woman, and Last Call, from the end credits.

Thanks for checking,I'll wait for your reply about this,I am curious to know.
My VHS contains Brown Sugar,I'm a man and Last call but it doesn't have A MAN AND A WOMAN in the end credits.
Bye!

I can't locate my VHS copy as it has been stored away. I am guessing my VHS copy (MCA Home Video) also lists those songs in the end credits. It would appear alternate end credit titles were created, which exclude the songs i previously mentioned.
