Why are American releases of albums sometimes worse even when the band itself is American? Like, you see the Australian or Japanese or Mexican or whatever release of an album having extra songs and shit, I believe an example would be American releases of In Utero missing Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip and stuff like that

i know that at least in japan, music wasn't/still isn't really that cheap, so labels do this so people feel like they get more for their money.

leaving off something to make you buy the next album/ep has a long tradition

i know japan bonus tracks is because of the higher cost of music there and an attempt to get japanese customers to still buy instead of just getting them on import
and i'd make the same sorta general assumption when it comes to other regional bonus tracks (e.g. australia and europe)
