On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Mei Rodríguez *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

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

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'.
