You should read Justin's posting again, Jon, because I think you have
COMPLETELY misunderstood it.  I believe he is saying that the song
NotS starts at 4:07 in "The Dreaming"  -- but the track doesn't change
until "the point Kate starts singing."  In other words, the big Irish
instrument buildup before the first verse occurs in "The Dreaming"'s
track, and not in NotS's track.

As far as I can tell, this is identical to the situation on the American
CD.  If the British CD was really set up right, as you thought, Jon, why
would Julian complain about this?
