PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP.

The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene?

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite.
