The publisher switched from Faber and Faber in the UK to Penguin in the States so perhaps that may have something to do with certain chapters being omitted.
Also for anyone looking for more reading on punk/post punk, the infamous Australian document from this era 'Inner City Sounds' was recently reissued (after years of circulating in photocopy format), http://www.versechorus.com/ICS.html. I don't actually remember much mention of Aussie groups in Rip It Up, aside from the Birthday Party. There were some other good acts like the Go-Betweens, the Saints and Models who made it abroad. Actually a chapter on the worldwide dissemination of punk would actually have been quite interesting, especially with acts like Metal Urbaine in France and the Brazilian groups documented on the Não Wave comp. It's been about 8 months since I read it though, so perhaps there was some mention and my memory is being selective :)

without having a u.s. version to compare the uk original, i can only pass along the following comment from an amazon.com review of the u.s. edition --
>>Three chapters have been cut in their entirety and portions of other chapters have been cut or shortened. In total, the US version of the book is nearly 200 pages shorter.<<
