Yep.  I thínk it's quite audible on the vinyl version too.  At least I
think that I noticed it on one of the first times I heard that, and
that was the vinyl version.

I've always thought that that was some mistake by Dave or the Sound
Guy.  They probably were too stoned to notice such minor things.
