They have to have a deeper meaning.

In return, "R. Stand" appears instead of "4. Stand" on the track list on the back cover. Allegedly, this was a product of an early typing mistake: due to "4" being a number very close to "R" on the keyboard, "Green" was once misspelled "G4een", and the mistake was adopted this way."<br /><br />I like to think there exists, a deeper meaning than thisTendraftsdeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329401411345489991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620417008960069715.post-5979501302086463552011-08-05T17:17:40.521-04:002011-08-05T17:17:40.521-04:00That's something I don't get just by looki...That's something I don't get just by looking at an image on a screen.

On many copies, the two "R's" on the front (In "REM" and "GREEN") have a slightly reflective "4" on them, only visible if held in the right light. A very fun discovery one day, way back in 1988.Tendraftsdeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329401411345489991noreply@blogger.com
