Maybe this was answered here before, but does anyone know why the song order is TOTALLY different on the vinyl albums? Very strange. I don't think that's ever been the case in the past, and I can't see any reason for it.
One reason might be that the running order on a CD doesn't matter, technically - but on a LP it does very much.
As the needle gets closer to the center of the record the sampling speed is slowly being reduced and that has an influence on the sound quality.
Songs with a high dynamic range thus should be placed at the beginning of the groove. In the past the running order of many records was not only determined by the limited time per side but also because of this.
I guess this topic is rather being neglected by producers nowadays - but MK and GF seem to be quite audiophile.
