I'm not notloB leahciM (thank doG), but I did suspect that Tommy came close
to filling a single CD.  But the label "Remastered!--with Bonus Track!"
probably WOULD have satisfied those of us who wish MCA had put some kind of
sticker on the new remix CD to draw attention to it!     :  )

By the way, with "Cousin Kevin Model Child" clocking in at a mere 1:24, maybe
there could've been two bonus tracks!  Actually, I was hoping that there were
enough possible candidates to make it legitimate to rerelease Tommy on 2 CDs
again.
