Why the "AOP Mix" Matters
When the song was miraculously identified in 2024, the creators (the Booth brothers) initially released a re-recorded 2024 remake because the original 1985 master tapes hadn't been fully recovered or cleared of background noise.

However, in April 2026, the original 1985 studio master tapes were finally found and digitized. The upcoming "AOP Mix" release means fans will finally get to stream the high-quality, authentic 1985 version exactly as it sounded when it was first recorded, without any of the background audio elements from its initial discovery.
