Changes

The track list for the double cassette releases of ''The Fragile'' follow the CD track list, save for the insertion of "[[+Appendage]]" onto the end of "Please" on US and EU some other countries' copies. The first tape splits between "Just Like You Imagined" and "Even Deeper," while the second tape splits between either "Please (+ Appendage)" and "Starfuckers, Inc." (most US versions) or "Starfuckers, Inc." and "Complication" (non-.  "+Appendage" is included on all US cassettes and on several other countries', such as Thailand and also Poland. "+Appendage" is listed, but not actually included, in the tracklistings of some US versions)countries' cassettes, such as Europe and South Korea. Other countries''The Fragile'' was cassette releases, such as the final NIN release to be officially issued on cassette. Subsequent albums have been issued on cassette in other countriesPhilippines, Malaysia, and Mexico, omit "+Appendage" entirely, though they are of questionable authenticityfrom both the tracklisting and the tape.

Note that whilst "[[Anomaly]]" has been confirmed to be the working title of "The Way Out Is Through", the final titles for "[[Rotation]]" and "[[Stained]]" have not been revealed; "Underneath It All" may be the final title for the latter, based on its prominent lyrical use of the word. Stated in an interview with the [[Nailed]] Podcast, [[Charlie Clouser]] believes that "Rotation" is an early iteration of "[[The Big Come Down]]", but could not say for certain.

This edition of the vinyl also comes with a digital download card and a booklet containing photos and an essay about the sequencing of the album, written by Bob Ezrin.

In one interview, Alan Moulder stated that the album started out with 173 different pieces or musical ideas, and the cover of [[Gary Numan]]'s "[[Metal]]" had been completed when the album sessions began.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CrXjiTnwN8] He also stated in a different interview that 120 songs were recorded[https://www.soundonsound.com/people/alan-moulder-recording-nine-inch-nails-smashing-pumpkins], so it is likely that some of the 173 pieces were merely seeds of inspiration that were never developed into anything usable.The orginal large amount of song ideas was evidently whittled down before they even reached the demo stage, as Reznor stated in a 2000 interview that he demoed 47 songs, which he then chose from when deciding which ones to write lyrics for.[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=935]
