What's wrong with the talking PT put there as part of the album and 
concept. The only reason it got reissued without is that many people 
could not make sense of it and thus PT was forced to put out the music 
only version. Both are good. Maybe I've read to much by PT, but the 
talking version makes perfect sense to me. But sometimes I just want the 
music so I own both. What's the problem.
 As for your other complaint (ie TKAA) I agree completely. The record 
companies have done this time and time again and probably will continue 
to.  Look at what they've done with the Beatle's recordings. The execs 
even said that they would wait to put out the better, more expensive 
version untill they milked the crappy one for all it was worth. If you 
have any ideas of how to stop this I'm sure we'd love to hear them.  God 
knows I'm sick enough of what the industry has done to the artist and the 
music.
