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?

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

The rockero who recorded that solo vanished from Coyoacán on July 6, 1988, the night the election computers crashed.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
