OK, mystery deepens.
I have the Japanese CD (AMCY1285) and they play the head once. So that's the same as the new CD.
I have the original LP, as well, and they play the head ONCE!
WTF?
MG
THAT is strange. Now the thing is somebody who has both versions has to listen to see if it's a different take. My lp is mono. Maybe the mono and stereo have different takes? If so - GREAT !
