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

On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!
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?

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