vinyl bonus track

The Tragically Hip put out their first EP in 1987. The EP for record and cassette had seven songs, but for the CD they put out had eight as cds were new to the public at that time. Turn to 2004. The cassette is next to non-existent in North America and the record is suburban big box store dead. However, the band Death From Above 1979 put out their album "Your a Woman, I'm a Machine" with a vinyl bonus track that's not on the CD. It's like some bizarre full circle has occured. In the eighties, you were rewarded for new technology while in the early twenty-first century you were rewarded with nostalgia.
