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!
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

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