this is because the "judas!" bit was included on the pregap track on the CD, where it'd appear at like -0:04 on the counter (or something). whoever ripped the CD for spotify was probably just oblivious. almost def not an intentional edit but certainly dumb/ahistorical.

Some context to the current situation in Iran. On 19 August 1953 Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was overthrown in a coup led by MI6 and the CIA under the name Operation Boot/Ajax. The aim was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mosaddegh nationalised the country’s oil industry.
