This is not particularly new, though it's not exactly common, either. I bought a 10" disk by Rickie Lee Jones called GIRL AT HER VOLCANO, and then ended up buying the cassette for it because the tape had a "bonus song not available on LP" (I don't off-hand recall which song it was). Because this happens so rarely, I don't get as irritated about this as I do the increasingly common habit of record companies to use songs "not available on LP" as flip sides of hit singles. Of course, no one's *forcing* you to buy the singles just for those songs, but if you really like the artist/group, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
