Whoa.......I've got a Japanese version of Divine Madness...the first
version.....and the version of Shut Up is about 4 mins long and has the
instrumental fade...this appears to be the version from '7'.
The playout on TJAD on the Jap version has the cornet....whereas the new
remastered UK version has this harmonica Peter mentioned in its
place.......Will Mr Smash shed any light on this peculiarities!!!!
Anyone else spot any other differences?

fade-out.
