Just talked to some friends at a local record store. The ones without the 
extra songs are usually older! As for them having copyright problems, James
has talked at length aobut their tracking folks down to pay them for their
songs. You don't need permission to cover a tune, you just have to pay
for it, and they do. As for them now taking Am I Evil, and Blitzkrieg off
the CD, I want proof that they have, because the record store has three
copies that aren't that old, and they all have them.
