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

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

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

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