He mentioned this in his same post;
"If you listen carefully, you can hear the others in the background is a few places."
(I think he meant 'in a few places')

They may be 'subordinate' but may also be worth including, many times for effect/enhancement.
Mixing is indeed an art.
They weren't 'cut' but rather handled/added.

As evidence I reference his signature;
