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?

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Aiko Okonkwo Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Oxford University Computing Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jtanaka@titech.ac.jp Sun May 08 18:19:32 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!titech!jtanaka From: jtanaka@titech.ac.jp (Joachim Tanaka) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1994May08.181932.1384@titech.ac.jp> Date: Sun, 08 May 1994 18:19:32 GMT References: <1994May04.182132.5744@u-tokyo.ac.jp> Organization: Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre NNTP-Posting-Host: titech.ac.jp X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 12 In article <1994May04.182132.5744@u-tokyo.ac.jp>, veriksson@u-tokyo.ac.jp (Valeria Eriksson) writes: > 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. Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.
