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
