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. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Rodrigo Reyes Hayes Optima 288 @ 33,600 bps "We don't sign stars. We build them."

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.
