A third, somewhat cynical reason suggests itself to me: Why not leave off an
intriguing, lengthy cut from the first round of bootleg collections so that
a few years later you can use the track as a "draw" for a second round of
"rarities" collections, thus cashing in twice on the same material. How many
of us might by a new Kate Bootleg CD including this track and...whatever
else?  What a buncha saps we are!

...surprised it hasn't happened yet --luckily, I stumbled across a copy ofd
the vinyl and picked it up a few years ago..
