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.<<
