Usually MRPX's uploads of mixed compilations (like this one) come as image+cue and usually those cues match those from scene releases (if those exist ofc).
In this case I get quite a considerable length difference of merged back into image and converted into mp3 file vs. scene one from VA_-_r_AW_Essential_.04_Mixed_by_Armageddon_Project-CD-2005-SQ, this one is noticeably longer (01:11:42.483 vs. 01:11:40.440). And it's not about different CD drive's read offsets, it's like each track in scene release is a bit shorter while close checking of waveforms for both versions give impression of seamless transitions between tracks.
I can't fathom how someone could possibly fook up either ripping a CD image (maybe different CD pressing?) or splitting a lossless image into separate tracks by cue, but if MRPX notices this comment and would bother to reup then I'd like to check his original upload, please :)

Thanks for reup, MRPX! Here image's total length and cue timings match SQ's version, tried foobar and CUETools for splitting into separate tracks - both gave completely identical tracks (no wonder). Comparing vs. the version uploaded by Alpha here before showed they do have majority of each track's length identical but there's definitely some weird fookup happened at splitting/transition parts between tracks. Whoever did the splitting should really consider reviewing the tool he's using for the task
