The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- === Rodrigo Karlsson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "Row 14.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic.
