The original 1991 Cuneiform CD release does not have the two bonus tracks that appear on the 2005 reissue (this page) It's kind of strange (to me) that the 2005 enhanced reissue has the same catalog number and the same bar code as the 1991 CD release, but I guess those little things keep you guessing.

My copy of 'East West' (RUNE 341 CDX) - (matrix RUNE 31 01!) "Made in USA" (presumably by PDO?) doesn't contain the bonus tracks.

A misprint or were they added at some point after the initial release?

This is Richard Pinhas's most commercial release to date. What you get are several short form compositions, sounding a great deal like a slightly more electronic 'Another Green World' (Brian Eno, run, don't walk, to buy it). There is one unapologetic pop song 'New York: West Side' and 'Houston 69' is as intense as anything Heldon had done before. In between, you get gorgeous instrumentals as full of melody and atmosphere as one could wish. Classic stuff!
