Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.
The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.

Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'.

The pitch on 'Synthesized Smile' is eerie. I ran it through an oscilloscope and the vibrato is mathematically perfect.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
