Soda Jerk Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Japan must be chock full of nothing but bonus tracks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Ascension Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The bonus tracks are to offset the Saihan price system in Japan that means they pay much more for CDs than anywhere else ...Its to give that market something extra to make up for the price!
