Small digression. I own a few albums that have alternate track listings and in one case (The Kings - Village Green) is even provided in two track listings (mono version has more tracks and different order than stereo version). Has anyone ever experimented with those cases or resequence an album because of these cases?

It's not the same as shuffling, but is a shuffle if you are used to one track list.
I once listened to The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators going by the band's original track order as opposed to the official track order and I didn't think it sounded as good. I know the band had a concept in mind but the album didn't seem to flow as well as I thought it would.
