I think _Fan Dance_ is a very good album, and I wouldn't want to stuff it
full of extra music *just* for the sake of padding it out -- but it does
seems a little weird, to me, that the regular album would be so short,
when the special Borders edition had a bonus track. If they had room for
the track, why not put it on *all* versions of the album?
The other thing that kind of miffed me was Sam Phillips's greatest-hits
disc, _Zero Zero Zero_, which was only about 40-45 minutes long.
Ah well, that's what CD burners are for. :)
And hey, keeping this on-topic, I have found that it is possible to fit
both of Linford's solo-piano albums *and* the instrumental OTR tracks onto
a single CD. Do I feel "ripped off" that the original albums were so
short? Well, no, but I do like being able to combine them.
