Okay, I have the Australian release of The Unforgettable Fire EP, but on
cassette.

I assume you're right, since the EP was released by Festival in Australia.
The vocals are, as you say, more like a duet, and the lyrical difference is
Bono exactly as you describe.

No idea what it's worth though - don't know what any collector's stuff is
worth actually. :)
