Comment by Lee Wrecker🍰:
Yes candiman they were both released on the same date February the 10th 1997. The double album may have been made for audiophiles that like more space between the grooves for better sound quality. The album was made in the CD era and there's 55min of music here which fits nicely on a CD but compressing that onto one LP will cause sound quality issues. I suppose the double LP was produced to placate discerning buyers but why release a poorer quality single LP version at all is the question.
