Another situation that can be avoided by this is where a release changes during its lifetime.

One release in my collection is a free download[1] (shamelessly so), but one track was removed after it was released commercially. So there’s a situation where my immediate download on day 1 of release has the original track order, but current downloads of it have the revised running order.

Since it’s Friday, I have no hesitation in recommending either or both releases. Good headphones are recommended.
