Is it the same as the one on Excerpts from Recycle?
I used to have a very low bitrate MP3 copy of the supposed Japanese 7" edit and the one on Excerpts is pretty much identical from what I can remember. I believe the one on Excerpts is a home made fan edit (CD sourced) aping the flow of Japanese Edit hence why there are no crackles etc; overall a very faithful recreation.
That said, any fan with a semi-decent wave editor and a mountain of patience can create their own Japanese 7" Edit from any recent mastering of BM. Electronic tracks with repetitive beats are usually fairly simply to cut down and rearrange (see Razormaid's entire career regarding "remixes").
As for the 7" itself... I can understand why it's rare but I would never (and I do collect) pay hundreds let alone thousands of quid for a bit of dusty vinyl.
No ta.
Good luck to whoever has the cash (and the balls!)
