I get the point of adapting a product to various markets, but an album? As if an album would sell better in for instance the US by replacing one song at the end. Really?

It is not first time. Do not forget (for example) Sailing to Philadelphia, there were 3 versions: worldwide, UK & US editions with different track lists.

Yeah, I know. It's very strange.

does not make it any smarter. who is to decide that this one song does not catert to this and that market?

Same brainy people who decide about the marketing strategies and ended up announced a record that most of the fans already knew about half a week before...

What is 3rd version of the STP than. I know the US version got Do America (which was also released as bonustrack on the Silvertown single) instead of One More Matinee

US version had "Do AMerica" and didn't had "One more matinee"

European version had "One more matinee" and didn´t had "Do America"

UK version had both "Do America" and "One more matinee"

If the Deluxe version has 16 songs, why iDrover's Road repeating in the bonus album? It worries me that this bonus is only in the vinyl version.

because it didn't fit in the 2lp standard vinyl and they put it as a bonus track in the extra vinyl.

I add the lenghts of the songs, except the three ones of the lp deluxe box.

[Jules]

Just to be make things clearer...

Looking at the picture of the lp deluxe box, it looks like the deluxe cd comes into a cardbox... or is it a kind of book?

[Robson]

I add the lenghts of the songs, except the three ones of the lp deluxe box.

 

These three will definitely be short

Don’t Suck Me In
Sky And Water
Pale Imitation
