Does anyone own the following?

CD5: JP 1988 (Factory/Nippon Columbia 15CY-5020) 7:09 Blue Monday 1988 4:17 Beach Buggy 7:29 Blue Monday

In transferring the short version of Beach Buggy from vinyl, we've discovered that my copy of the pressing has a weird tape glitch running through it that does not appear to be part of the song. This may or may not have been corrected on later pressings, so I'd like to compare it against other versions. Based on timings, it would seem the Japanese CD single is the only place where the short edit of Beach Buggy appeared on CD.

The version on the 7" is a unique mix that cannot be recreated by editing down the longer version.

The squeak in question appears at: 0:36 1:08 1:12 1:25 1:32 1:34 1:36 1:39

To be fair, the samples in this version are triggered so haphazardly that it may be an intentional noise, but it's really hard to tell.

I only have an mp3-version (320kbps) of Beach Buggy (7" Version), taken from the Japanese cd-maxi... I really don't know anymore, who've sent it to me.

Probably you don't want mp3's, but if it might help, just let me know.

Hearing it will answer some of the questions. Can you e-mail it to me?
