Do any of the YCDTOSA vol. 2 vinyl tracks contain extended edits, apart from duplicated material in connection with LP side shifts?

The FAQ doesn't indicate any differences, but of course the absence of evidence is not evidence.

Exactly my problem. I don't believe there are any differences, since none seem to have been reported over all these years.

But I am still suspicious, because:
1) I haven't seen any positive statement to the contrary,
2) I qot no comprehensive response to the same enquiry on zappateers.com, and
3) significant time differences are still unaccounted for, if track times on discogs.com are correct.

Charles Ulrich, Pat Busby, Mike Espinoza and all you other central scrutinizers, are you working on this? :-D

I'd be glad to, if I had access to the LPs or a rip.

Same here. 100$ on eBay is too much for to little (if anything at all).

The LP label, at least on my copy, actually says 0:26, an obvious typo.

Just comparing the rest of that side, TD is longer than CD because it includes a substantial amount of the "Doo-Doo Room" riff from the end of the previous track as a fade-in. DM/BAG is longer than on CD because it includes the audience interaction that is tracked as part of WP on the CD. WP itself is NOT longer than on CD if we take the 0:26 as a typo for 9:26.

In short, without A/B-ing the whole set, I'm pretty positive that there is nothing on the LP that is not on the CD.

P.S.: Apologies for the faulty abbreviation. Of course I meant M(WF), not WP.

Thank you.

So:
• the side 4/side 5 overlap explains Dupree's Paradise, CD 23:59 vs. LP 24:34 [+0:35]
• the side 5/side 6 overlap explains T'Mershi Duween, CD 1:31 vs. LP 1:53 [+0:22]

Does a similar overlap between side 2 and 3 account for the extra 27 second on side 3, i.e. most of the extra time on Pygmy Twylyte/Room Service? (The remaining extra 12 or 14 seconds on Pygmy Twylyte/Room Service would be explained by a shift of the Twylyte riff from the subsequent Idiot bastard Son.)

I still don't get the full picture of the extra 60 seconds or so on side 6:
• Track 2 Dog/Meat (incl. Building A Girl): CD 5:06 vs. LP 5:57 [+0:51]
• Track 3 Montana (Whipping Floss): CD 10:15 vs. LP 10:26 [+0:11]

A relative shift in track times between those two tracks does not explain the difference in the sum total.

Aah, sorry, now I finally got it.
My "10:26" is from discogs.com - which is a faulty correction of 0:26.

Problem solved.
Thanks.

The applause after "Inca Roads" fades out instead of the more abrupt and
obvious edit into the applause preceding "RDNZL" on the CD, literally
the only material found on the LP that's not on the CD.

"missing" from CD, if anyone was still REALLY WONDERING.
