Hadn't seen any mention before on Head-Fi and a quick search seemed to confirm this, so I thought I would share this.

While listening to the album on an old PCDP (1990) I came upon a track I had never heard before.

I mean...I've definitely listened to this album straight through a number of times. Pretty surreal, for a second.

So, after getting over a serious "awake or dreaming?" moment I looked over at the track time and it read something like "1 -2:50". So it turns out that there's an instrumental track about three minutes and twenty-two seconds long that leads into "Like Eating Glass". Soft, atmostpheric, I guess.

It was somewhat fortunate that I've been using a cd player that has had problems reading the first tracks on modern cds; here it ended up reading the lead-in to the first track. Switching over to the D-NE300, I got the same thing by rewinding past the "beginning" of the cd.

It's nothing intensely special, but a pleasant surprise and it's too bad that it's not naturally included with the rest of the stellar album.

A piece of curiosity for the Bloc Party fans.

Ohh nice.
[go checks his CD....]

Dang, its not in the Japanese Edition. Oh well, we get the Mogwai remix of "plans"

Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye for the US version.

Strangely that didn't work when I put the stylus an inch outside my vinyl version. It's damaged and the recording wasn't super to begin with anyway (very quiet) so I may buy the CD version given this perk.....or try and find a better pressing. Damn this vinyl loving disease.

Mmm, vinyl.

I guess money is short for me, so I wouldn't get the cd version just for this perk. If you know a way to rip the lead-in to a computer file, and you have an mp3 player (I don't), then I'd understand. As it is, I'm happy enough with the rest of the album to not bother every time I pop it in, but maybe another person can chime in on matters of worth.

Can anyone else confirm this or am I going nuts?

Edit: Actually, I listened to it again. Quite pleasant.

The title of the thread is slightly misleading (oops). The track will be pre-Track 1 rather than designated as Track 0.

Edit 2: Since zChan mentioned it, I can only confirm for the US cd version.

Nah I'm only considering it cause some lovely person left a towel on the vinyl at a party and the edge is a bit crinkled .

Hey COOL!

I'm going to try and play this on my radioshow when I get a chance.

So, I am assuming that nine years on the mystery of  Every Time Is the Last Time has been resolved. A CD only bonus track that is accessible by holding rewind before starting track one. A great song, though only in the context of a prelude to Like Eating Glass.
