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. sheepdeanis in your base killing your d00ds 09:17, 31 March 2009 (PDT)
- 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. - Seasonsinthesky 09:38, 8 June 2009 (PDT)
- Yes, I understand they had to be equal(ish) length, but that's no reason to not include it on the other two, usually things are removed from the tape versions, not added.
