No, no, NO, the WORST example is Jethro Tull's Under Wraps which has 4
(count 'em, that's four) songs on the CD that are not on the LP (two
which aren't on the cassette).  Thats over 15 minutes of new music!  That
happens to be a phenominal album from a group which I usually ignore
(there more recent albums do not measure up).  You might wonder why the
extra songs bother me?  because I still only purchase LPs, most of which
(Under Wraps, especially) sound identical to the CD in quality (except
for EMI/CBS, which unfortunately means that my KaTe albums of not of high
enough quality).
