I was doubtful at first about your "mastering" explanation. Surely people listen to these CDs before they get shipped? But I recently purchased the King Crimson EP, Vrooom. It has an odd misalignment of track numbering. Who knows, maybe this sort of bug gets into the system after the proof listening, and before a huge run of discs gets created that nobody wants to eat over a small issue.
You're right: it's a great package. Looking forward to Fried, one of my all-time favorite albums (by Cope or anybody else).
