I think extra tracks and mixes should exist as a separate entity, not mixed into an album. The primary album should stand on its own, presenting its intended narrative and flow without being ruined by one horrible track. What happened to singles and eps??
Deluxe editions just make the entire discography a mess sometimes you end up with 5 versions of what is essentially the same album with barely any changes in name. NO one ever listens to the main album tracks on these deluxe editions because it was already released 3 days ago, and I’ve already listened to it!
Release those extra pieces as separate works, give them its own artwork and identity, and let them be appreciated in their own merits, without the mess.
