Why are the interlude tracks missing from Fear Inoculum? - Music

On Tool's page, Fear Inoculum doesn't have any of the interlude tracks listed, but all the other albums do? Why is this?

I believe BEA's track listing is based on Fear Inoculum's physical release, which doesn't include "Litanie contre la peur", "Legion Inoculant", or "Mockingbeat".

I don't personally own a physical copy of Fear Inoculum, but I've seen it before (awesome packaging, it has a little TV on the cover and a speaker which plays an additional song which isn't listed on BEA's track listing, and I don't believe it's available on spotify/itunes/other digital releases).

This is sort of a long video but it shows the physical release in full and might help explain some of the differences between the physical and digital releases of the album.

Edit: as an aside, I'm not big on Tool so if anyone can correct me on any of this, feel free to. I do love cool packaging though and this is up there as one of the coolest.

Huh. So only a digital version has the interlude tracks? Strange.

That's my understanding. Agreed that it's strange.

That's a cool package if I've ever seen one.
