★ Tape Swaps

Got rare Australian Festival bootlegs and Triple J off-air cassettes. Keen to trade for Japanese Akasaka 7-inches.

WANTS:

HAVES TO TRADE: 'Gasoline Heart' anime promo (off-air), final 1989 broadcast (VHS, 2nd gen), SYNTHESIS JP cassette.

'Static & Steel' on DAT
Hamburg 1985 broadcast (complete, not the 1-minute clip)
Meridian Broadcasts '86, any night

★ Lyric Discrepancy & Translation Anomalies

At 2:19: US lyric says 'dream', regional master vocal take clearly says 'machine'.
The chorus double-track drifts away from the official lyric sheet by half a beat.
