469.0. "See note #399 for extra tracks on CD's" by DSSDEV::STRANGE (Steve Strange- ZK02-3/R56) Thu Sep 25 1986 09:59

    Many artists add songs to their CD releases that are not on the
    LP or cassette versions.  Most, however, do not take advantage of
    the larger capacity of CD's.  Perhaps they feel it would destroy
    the unity of the album (the song placed at the end of the album
    should be the last song on the CD as well), or maybe they just don't
    have any more material to put in.
    Here is a list of CD's with extra songs:
   "No Jacket Required"-Phil Collins   ("We Said Hello Goodbye" added)
   "Press To Play" - Paul McCartney  (3 extra songs tacked on to the
    					end)
   "Give My Regards To Broad Street" - McCartney (longer versions of
    					most songs, a few added)
    
    I'm sure there are many to add to this list.
    Anyone out there opposed to additions to albums in this manner?
    (For instance, I don't think ANYTHING could be put at the end of
    "Abbey Road" without ruining it.)

    this has been covered at length in a prior note in this file.

    The previous note is #399.  Actually I think that it's a pretty
    good idea to restart a topic a few months after the previous
    one as long as there is a back pointer.  Many people entering
    the conference for first time might skip over all but the last couple
    of months worth of notes, so they don't have to thousands of notes
    and reply to get current.
    
    With the pointer back to the other note, there isn't any need to
    repeat any of the contents of it here, but I have no objection
    to starting a new note.
    
    Perhaps the author or a moderator can modify the title of the note
    to make this a continuation of that one.
