        I think it's that because the cut version (which is dead boring
and converts 'Reaper' nastily into that rather goth pop song it has always
nearly been) is shorter, and it winds up on more compilations, and I think
that's how most stations have any BOC these days... 'Reaper' is still the
only BOC track I have ever heard on the radio. Yours,
