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

On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

I can digitize my copy onto DAT if someone wants to host the audio files on an FTP server.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy.

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
