Incomplete single CD release

Do we know which tracks made it onto this, and which were left off? --Richardrj ^talk ^email 08:50, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I own various versions. Don't really know why... ;-) Version CVLCD101 has only five songs, the first five. 45 minutes only. But on the back of it all titles are written, so when I bought it I thought it might be the whole album on one CD. When I found out the truth I had the double CD version imported from Japan. But I seem to remember there was another single CD version, around 75 minutes, and it looks like the back of the remastered 2005 CD version confirms this. There it says: "Tracks 2 and 5 previously unreleased on CD outside of Japan". So the other single CD version had tracks 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. But I don't own this 75 minute single CD version, so can't confirm it with certainty. By then my double CD had arrived from Japan. :-D This was all 1989, if I remember correctly. Besides, that year is on both CVLCD101 and the Japanese double CD VJD-25023~24. Aren't things getting a bit complicated now for an article about music? ;-) Mark in wiki (talk) 09:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Length

75:10 clearly is incorrect. It was released on 2 CD's because it didn't fit on just one, and moreover, if you add all the different lengths together, it leaves you with much more than 75:10. I will check when I get home tomorrow, but if anyone can add up the numbers before that... please. Mark in wiki (talk) 12:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed. CD 1 is 45:07 and CD 2 is 41:07, together 86:14. Mark in wiki (talk) 21:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
