SE-2037-2: HALO 3 Original Soundtrack

[Secret Squirrel]

Does anyone know why Disc 2 Track 17 is titled:

LvUrFR3NZ (by Princeton) [iTunes release only]

We don't have a back scan of the US version, but the Japanese printing just goes with the title "LvUrFR3NZ (by Princeton)". Though we don't have an entry for an iTunes release of this album, the title implies that this track was not included on the US printed version. According to the back scan of the European version, it seems to have been omitted there (unless it's a bonus track.) It's definitely on the Japanese version though.

So, perhaps someone who has the album can help clear this up.

I have the European edition (SE-2037-2) and disc 2 only has 16 tracks - "Finish the Fight" being the last one.

I have the US Version (also SE-2037-2) and my case/liner notes makes no mention of this song existing (although I do remember a sticker on the original shrink wrap advertising this song), however it is included as track 17 of disc 2. Weird. Maybe a bonus for a first print run?

Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for. So it's an unlisted track on the US release. Is there any chance it's a hidden track on the European release (though I suspect you would have mentioned it if it was.)

So there's a European version of SE-2037-2 as well as 0185172ERE?

I remember buying my copy through the german Amazon shop. I don't know exactly if it was the marketplace, but I don't remember anything about it being import ware.

Anyway, you were right about the hidden track. I just check with EAC and disc 2 displays 17 tracks (all audio tracks, so track 17 is not data).

The back inlay states that track 13 to 16 are 7:16, EAC gives me 7:21 - the last track lasting 2:18.

Judging from the tracklist of the KDSD-20009~10 printing this seems to be the "missing" track.

I just wanted to rip my copy of the european release of this (0185172ERE) - and I can confirm there is no Track 17. The complete running time of the disc is 54:50.

Given that there's (so far) no freedb entry for disc 2 for this release, I think it's safe to say that the european version never came with it, unlike the US and japanese releases?!
...meaning the tracklist is wrong for 0185172ERE and should be changed.
