Yeah, that would be tedious. We really ought to have _Space Ritual_ "as
it should be without the limitations of vinyl": _no_ shortened tracks
(why would we _not_ want to hear the full version of "Time We Left"!?),
flowing continuously, and of course at stupendous quality :)
Perhaps this is all just an artifact of EMI getting the back-catalogue
ready for digital distribution, selling MP3s cheap, CD quality for more,
and saving the highest price range for DTS and 24-bit files? Moving
those files on line is still perhaps a little ways off for the mass
market -- and people much older than me are still wrestling with the
disappearance of vinyl! Meanwhile, EMI will putting out physical discs
like these with a whole bunch of audio formats ... because they can, and
we'll buy 'em ;) :}
Cheers,
Carl
