In the case of many prog rock and similar albums of the late 60s 70s and 80s there are either significant (wrt to the pace of the audio tracks) 'silences' between tracks or no silences with fade out and fade in audio layers ...
The digital versions of a number of these albums have 'clipped' tracks - with a sharp start point | end point and some arbitrary generic silence length (of 0 - N ms) between them.
Seems like a minor thing but it is noticable to those of us that once listened to vinyl albums and the "between track" transition is arguably as much of the overall product as originally delivered as each individual track and track ordering.
