Hmm... somebody else posted something like what you have above when it first came out. Which got me thinking... maybe there are 15 tracks with 2 of them being outro's attached to the proper song. Tracks 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 (which on my pc cd playing program actually shows up -1:59 before going straight to track 12) do fit this criteria? Of course if this is correct in anyway it can only be 2 of the tracks... the question being which two?? Oh well.. Regards, John
