Back in the olden days, when CDs were brand spanking new, they
needed a "gimmick" to get people to buy the CD, so they started
putting "bonus tracks" on the CDs to lure buyers.

TSW (the LP) is the album that Kate intended to release.
The record company put WSDtM on the CD as a bonus track.

Btw, I *love* that song, but after getting used to the LP,
it was jarring to hear it on the CD. Kate surely intended for
the album to end with "This Woman's Work" for a reason.
