The instrumental "Tokyo" on the Mina japanese LP is the same than "Knockdown" on the US Bullseye Blues CD. I thought it was but here is the proff. Thanks again for posting that Xyros.

'Gritty Soul' was reissued in the US by Razor Records as 'Housefire' R5105BP in 1988 with one track removed: 'Your Momma's Crazy' and the track 'Tokyo' retitled as 'Knockdown'.
The Bullseye Blues CD reissue 1991 replicates the Razor Records LP, including the cropped cover image.
