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