I have always been intrigued by the SID singing thingy. Any
chance of some audio files so we can hear please?

This is something which seems a pretty standard practice. The
offering of different 'extras' to folks in different countries who buy
what is, basically, the same product. It happens almost
universally, even when the *same* company puts out releases in
different countries.

Why do they do this? Do they not realise that we, in country x,
want to see the goodies served up to country y and vice versa?

Galaxy Quest was another example. US audiences got a 'bonus'
in the form of the dialogue in Thermian. We in the UK didn't.

*sigh*
