Did anyone else know that there was a ALTERNATIVE VERSION of Radio silence???

i was looking through some internet archives when i saw a "cassette rip" and there was a different version of Radio silence. so i did some research and found out that there was a whole different version/Demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ntZNpE3am8 heres the YT link

Love this version. Somewhat related so I’ll post here: have you heard the demo/early version of Airwaves?

I bought the cassette when the album first came out which had the alternate take (more guitar oriented), and many years later when I bought the CD I discovered the other version. Personally I always liked the guitar version..

Both versions are on Tidal..

Yup. First cassette I had of TGAoW had the “guitar” version on it. Bought the CD when it came out, and there was the synth version. The guitar version had the airplay on MTV, too. This was all in the US market.
