Anyone know if the US release of will have 12 (UK) or 13 (Japan) tracks. Why do the do this? - is it to do with: attention spans, money, or favoritism. P.S. Anyone got any samples of 50's style, drunken pub singing from London (east end type) pub? Plink/plonk piano/"roll out the barrel" sort of thing. Not happy with the P2P samples I've found, so will pay the bar bill for someone to record this - thanks bbroo

Usually Japanese releases get more tracks and/or exclusive remixes to convince them to buy the official japanese release. Can't remember *why* they need convincing, but it might be because they can get US and UK imports so cheap that there's not much incentive to buy japanese releases. This is totally unfounded. It's just summat some bloke down t'pub told me once. On the assumption it's true, I've always been a bit narked off about it. A bunch of part-timers who need persuading to even buy the record get a load of extra stuff they probably won't even appreciate - 'cause if they were real fans they'd have bought it anyway! harrumph!

Someone here just have some live chaz'n'dave material? c'mon, own up! jon -- "How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of Negroes?" - Samuel Johnson on the Declaration of Independence.
OK, so who started this UK has 12, Japan has 13 thing then and how much truth is there in it? A quick look at the hmv.co.jp shows 12 tracks for their release. http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=26825 I'm getting confused now. Is there anyone out there who actually REALLY knows for sure? Has anyone got a UK or JP copy in their mitts or is this just rumour? Is the thirteenth track one of these hidden things, ooo, spooky. Personally, my money is going to the version with the max tracks, I just need to be sure which one that is. Ta v much Billy Jonathan Wakely wrote:
