There has never been a case of any tracks from "Fabrique" having been segued like that; with the exception of the US promo 12" of "Love Shadow" which has three tracks mixed on its B-side in this order.
B1 Dressed To Kill Double Dub 2:51
B2 Whitestuff (The Unfinished) 4:55
B3 Something In Your Picture (Alternative Playback) 2:44
So the mastering decision was made to perform slight cross fades to a few tracks here. Strange. I would have preferred to have the tracks discreet, but the cross fades are slight enough to not be too obtrusive. I'm more bent out of shape by the fade at the end of "Dressed To Kill [Double Dub.]" That one out of the several anomalies on this box hurts me the most.
