I have witnessed this quite a bit and I think it's obnoxious. I used to be able to buy multiple import versions of an album to get these rare tracks on them that our domestic versions don't have. Now that I'm older and I have bills to pay...well, I can't keep up. And you can't always find them online.
Now quite a few bands release compliation albums with rare tracks so you can eventually catch up, but sometimes that's not for years down the road.
So what is the rationale behind putting these tracks on versions we can't easily get our hands on here? Is it rewarding the foreign listener, punishing the domestic listener, both or neither?
Thanks, jmike. :)
