i think heartbeat released essentially the same record as that french one under a different title with bonus tracks. i forget the title but the track list was very similar. i have that french LP and it is indeed very hard to find but contains what seemed to me to be different mixes even on familiar songs, but i believe i recall the heartbeat issue being the same mixes as the LP.

here is the one i think i mean:

(though from the track list im having doubts about what i say above!)
