The Race (Break Light Mix) is missing the first 19 seconds of the song. Then later after listening to the rest of the album I found the missing 19 seconds. They added it to the end of Tied Up In Gear. There are a couple dozen disks in my collection that have this same issue. It is nothing more than bad mastering of the disk structure, most likely the sloppy work of someone in the production plant.

Or, depending on the source of your mystery copy of the disk, someone with bad duping software.

Tied up in Gear blends flawlessly into The Race (Break Light Mix) which didn't come out until 11 years later on Eccentrix Remixes. Hmmmm? wonder if it was meant to be on Flag originally. By jove, I think you've sussed! We'll call Scotland Yard and put a man on it right away!

Please! The sound of that track is waaaaay too new, even for Boris, to have been made during the time frame you suggest. It's just bad CD mastering, and before you pop an iCork, I doubt that it's Boris' doing ----------------------------------------- Dear organism, The copy is no mystery. These are advance copies available from the record company. I checked with Yello Office and the songs were done this way on purpose. You get nice gifts when you are nice to people. ,Jonathan
