The Anchor Song
~ Recording by Björk
Annotation
This recording has an actual length of 3:32. Some early releases of the Debut CD rips this track as 4:32 due to a large pre-gap between last two tracks.
The audio ends at 3:30 like on the later CDs, but some have a bigger 60 second silence before the last track starts.
On the __surrounded release, the gap was in place again, but reduced to 10 seconds.
The gap is inserted due to the final track being added after the album release did better than expected. The very first releases of the CD were only 11 tracks and this was the final track of the original album. Track 12 is from a film.
