Are there any interviews or articles about why the appendage was dropped for both vinyl and CD versions? It seems an odd thing to do, even for a record company trying to maximise its profits.

:the whole reason it exists is to even out the playing time of the cassette so that each side is roughly more equal in length. i think there may be some kind of mechanical reason why this is a way of optimising cassettes, too. - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|Seasonsinthesky]] 09:38, 8 June 2009 (PDT)
