That's what I thought Christopher Goosman was talking about at first. But,
listening on the headphones *carefully* I heard what he was talking about.
It's much more clearly heard on the new one, but it can be found on the old
one too. I was using the old MCA discs (the ones that came as two separate
jewel cases). 

It's as if they were playing the tape of the train station sounds while
getting the piano track tape up to speed. It sounds like a slight whirring
that starts low and speeds up. On the remix you can hear it twice before they
turn down the station sounds track.
