| I guess also it's throwing something out there for the collectors. Sadly, I'm one of the goons that will buy RA's Japanese CDs complete with bonus tracks even though I have the original UK release. Maybe that's part of the reason why they can always find a few bonus tracks... It depends on the artist, I guess, e.g. Ryan Adams has TONS of unreleased stuff, whereas Meat Loaf admitted that he has very few studio recordings that haven't been released, hence the same old tired live versions being released over and over again ad bloody nauseum. > Yep.
