Just spotted on GEMM a copy of "The White Room" (JAMSCD6) being advertised as "extremely rare" because it has eight tracks rather than the normal nine.
I don't think it's "extremely rare" at all. As far as I know, not only did the entire UK run have 8 tracks,
My UK copy has 9 tracks listed,although some tracks run into each other.
It's quite lucky that the early Australian versions were the same, since I think all UK copies were manufactured by PDO, and hence subject to "laser rot".
I checked mine and it doesn't say it was manufactured by PDO,so maybe I'm lucky. Although my copy of WTIL Story JAMSCD004 is deteriating rapidly, I contacted the company about 2 years ago and they said they couldn't replace it as they were not making any at that time. They said if they did run some copies off they would send me one, haven't heard anything so far, maybe they need more demand to make it worthwhile. Though whether it was because it was deleted makes any difference I'm not too sure in this case. I agree the US tracklisting is inferior to the UK version.
