I think it's because by the time an album by a new British band reaches the American market they've usually released a few more singles so they stick the singles on and take off some of the lesser album tracks.
In the case of Three Imaginary Boys / Boys Don't Cry there was 14 months in between releases.

I doubt it happens as much now with the internet & stuff like I tunes around.
