Or, perhaps a better idea would have been to leave it off the album completely and release it (along with the rest of the Peel Sessions) as a single proper. One thing I'm getting tired of is making the effort to find and buy an import-only release, only to have it a) picked up by a domestic (USA) label (not entirely bad, but usually a couple months behind the original release) or b) picked up with added tracks, but so much later, everyone that wanted the album has probably picked it up by now, so they've got to double-dip to get these "exclusive tracks". If you're going to add tracks so that domestic buyers will buy it rather than the import, you should release it at the same time, or at least give notice. And I don't mean notice like Nothing has given -- what was it, two years for the plug album to come out, with a different tracklisting and such? Come on! And how long has the Plaid release been on hold... But hey, they've got the new Marilyn Manson album coming out. :( -sml
