On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Lucia Fischer "Do not worship the copy."
