Damn, it took me six years to just walk into a record store that had that double disc.

I've been called out. :) As an old-timer, I remember that all of the original pressings of the UF Orb CD came with the second disc. You could probably do some research in the music magazines from back then to verify this, as I remember there being sctual advertising. As someone else pointed out, this was and is a fairly common practice to try and get more copies of an album to sell quickly. It was only after that initial pressing sold out that the single disc versions began to surface. For years the 2 disc versions were plentiful and easy to come by, often selling in the used places for the same price as the single disc versions because they didn't even know there was a second disc in there. I still have a small stash of these somewhere, cause I'd buy 'em up when I found 'em at a really good price. :)
The Listening Excursions CDs came out at about the same time and featured the same tracklistings as the bonus disc. Though it was never released in the UK, they got the original 39:58 CD single that the Yanks never got, as well as the re-issue with early copies of the UF Off video. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

You should all go and read Rachel's Orb Discography RIGHT NOW! And look at the pretty pictures, too. :) Then read the original Lazlo discography. You will probably learn a thing or three.
