Over the weekend, a friend tipped me off to a Mind is A Terrible Thing cassette. The cover/insert listed it as having a Bonus song. The track listing on the back was complete, any clue as to what the bonus song is?
I’m trying to find a cassette player in the meantime…
i always thought dream song was considered a bonus track.
I looked on discogs for any infot relating to this, and some releases don’t have it officially listed as a track, but this one did.
Is it really to be considered a bonus?
Yes, because it wasn’t on the original vinyl release.
Yeah, I had the cassette release in college. It’s just Dream Song.
yea, Land of Rape… had two tracks that were considered “extra”. it was just that time. Records were on the outs.
The record that got me into them! Mind on cassette!!
slack is right. it (along w/the CD) had it listed as an additional track. Not worded as a bonus per se, but as an incentive. Bear in mind that in order to steer customers into purchasing newer formats at the time that things like bonus tracks, remixes, B-sides etc were encouraged on CD/tape in order to transition from vinyl.
Rape & Honey had two added tracks too.
Japan has it on lock though, they still do it and I believe it’s actually a law? Read that somewhere, can anyone clarify? Daymare Recordings comes to mind
I’m not sure it’s a law so much as it is an incentive to get Japanese people to buy domestically produced CDs instead of imports which are apparently cheaper for some reason.
