Good question. I would say yes to both - I've not heard the CD version but I
presume its the one on this tape. Same backing track but different vocal and
mix with the tape version starting earlier.

Unfortunately the tape needs to be treated before it can be played properly;
it leaves a waxy deposit on the heads.

Fahrenheit 110 for 4 hours, apparently. Anybody got an incubator?
