Hi Wild Neil, yes that is correct. "LAN" was bastardized to "LAND" because most people either heard it wrong or just thought it meant a hard line into the home, as opposed to a wireless (I guess "not of the LAND?") network.

As long as we’re talking about Buckner and Garcia, they rerecorded the whole “Pac Man Fever” album for CD release or digital release since the original record company that released the original album is retaining rights.

So if you have he LP and the digital version they are two different versions of the same album recorded at different times.
