Well I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that the info sheet I
received with my white label of the first Metamatics EP stated quite
clearly that the four records were going to be collected onto a CD at
the end of the series. Personally, I'm less pissed off about the vinyl
tracks being reissued on CD (after all, it happens all the time), and
more pissed off about the fact that the CD included ONE extra track that
wasn't on any of the EPs. Since I own all the records (got white labels
of two, bought the other two), I skipped the disc.

well, my vinyl sets seems to have 2 tracks not on the CD!
