Unless the second disc is a bonus kinda dealie-o (very doubtful; it would have been marketed as a deluxe edition), it's likely a way of saying, "This is a
double album, GET IT?" It's not unheard of at all - Wilco's
Being There fits on one CD, but Jeff Tweedy fought to present it as a double at the price of a single disc, and the band took a financial hit because of it. (Warners went, OK, the difference comes out of your pockets, artists without whom we wouldn't have shit). And you can go back further to, say,
Metal Box: it could have been a double LP all along (once they ran out of film canisters, that's what it became, as
Second Edition), but PiL wanted the three thick 45-rpm 12"s to bass your face in.
