Differences between the CD and the vinyl

There are several differences between the vinyl and CD releases of Ripple Rock. The art and layout are slightly different, with the CD having the edge on quantity, although the record offers larger images. The most notable difference is that the last five tracks on the CD are taken off the vinyl, although four of them make their way onto a 7" insert. The 8-Track release has the same track listing as the vinyl release.
