It was one of the first all digital albums.  Another interesting tidbit is
that the cassette version had a longer version of that song than the CD, as
well as longer versions of a couple of other songs.

Another band that did the opposite... the Cure's "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss
Me" CD is short a track from the album and cassette, because it would not
fit on the CD.  That is the only CD I have that I know of that is shorter
than the album version.
