It seems the edited version is only on the compilation albums then:
"Another album, The Best Of B.B. King (released as ABC ABCX 767, later as MCA 3276, and in Britain as ABC 5026), features the track on which Peter Green played (from the 1971 album B.B. King In London ), "Caldonia", but is listed as running 3:20 (as opposed to 4:00 on the original release) with all of the personnel listed as on the first release except Green. A note is included in the liner notes: "At the request of a participating artist, this is a shortened version of the master originally released." His playing was deleted from the mix, apparently at Green's own insistence, a sad statement to his career--and state of mind--eclipse."
