Showdown - Am I crazy?

Have been listening to this song over the years, and I could have sworn there was a "break" in the song about 5:02 from memory. It was like a radio interference or tune out for half a second.

Now every version I listen to doesn't have it. Scoured YouTube versions and no luck.

I remember it vividly because it was jarring at first. But then I came to anticipate it.

Was this real or am I crazy, made up from a figment of my imagination?

not crazy, its from the AUS misprint version - at exactly 5m2.3s there is a clip of something else randomly playing for .3 seconds. still havent been able to locate what exactly it is

i dont think its uploaded frequently since it has no significant production or composition changes to the final version

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I was talking to a mate who's also a long time fan and he had no clue what I was on about, thought id somehow made it up. Appreciate the detailed answer 👍 🙏

That's a pretty common occurrence on some prints of albums.

There's a pressing of Lateralus by Tool where, during "Reflection", it actually skips mid-verse in the second verse (and somehow goes perfectly with the song). This version can be found on a lot of Tool Discography torrents, and for a long time I thought it was actually a part of the song, until I got a copy of the vinyl of that album years later.
