A further thought...in the "interview" GG has Page say something like,
"When I first heard how slowly you play the Aria, my thought was that this
is going to be a two-disc set.  Well, obviously it *isn't* a two-disc
set...." 

In the release above with the bonus disc CDN-70 for the interview,
evidently it *was* a two-disc set for at least an early release of IM
37779.  Is this an intentional GG joke? 

Then for later runs of IM 37779 (the normal number for the 1981 Goldbergs
on LP), it continued to be a fold-out album but didn't have the bonus disc
anymore.  Was *that* a GG joke about looking like a two-disc set, with the
empty fold-out?
